Download the “Understanding the Role of Pain in Dog Aggression” e-Book

Many cases of dog aggression are linked to pain. Dogs in pain, whether from injury, arthritis, or other medical issues, may exhibit aggressive behavior as a protective response. This can include growling, snapping, or avoiding touch in areas of discomfort. If your dog shows signs of aggression, it’s important to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues. Addressing the pain can often result in a significant improvement in behavior.
