Document Summary
Fear/anxiety: defensive, dogs believes they are in danger (regardless of intentions) Any time a dog is scared, it has the potential to become aggressive. Something about a person may scare them, and if the person can"t pick up the signals they may get bit by the dog. Attempts to comfort your dog may make it feel more anxious. If you become nervous, your dog may also become nervous. Your dog on a leash may be scared it can"t run away. The dog may want to play, but there is a fence between them so they can"t play. If you won"t let a dog have what they want, they may bite you. Dogs shaking their head with something in their house are them redirecting the energy, which is a good thing. Conrad lorenz is the father of animal behaviour, his books are amazing. He liked to draw the behaviours that he saw.
