Understanding Arousal & Aggression in Dogs
Why does your dog cope well one moment, then struggle the next? Understanding their emotional state is an essential part of understanding their behaviour.
In this four-page article, Wayne Dolecki draws on 18 years of experience as a British Army dog handler and trainer to explain how heightened arousal can intensify aggressive responses, what warning signs owners should recognise, and why obedience alone may not resolve the problem.
Discover practical ways to manage challenging situations, balance activity with recovery, encourage calm behaviour and build skills your dog can use when it matters.
