Showing signs of dominant behavior is a very common cause of problems between the dog and their owner. This demonstrates that your dog is trying to challenge your
position as the "leader of the pack" You always have to remain the pack leader
(boss). If this is not a boundary you can put into place, you need to seek the
guidance of a professional trainer. Otherwise, you are giving the dog the OK to
do as they choose.
Remember today's growl is tomorrow's bite!!!!
Take note, body language can tell you things but it is not always a guarantee so do
not depend on it.
Remember, if your dog is showing signs of aggression, get professional help! Don't make excuses for them, or assume that the problem will go away. If you have
children, it is especially important to get advice.
You want to take the right steps with a dog, there are two out comes when two
dominants meet and come head to head, there is fight or flight. This is not
something that you should deal with without a professional around. You do not
want to make a situation into an ordeal.
