A steadily growing problem in the United States is the Aggressive Dog - whether it be dog and food aggression, or whether people want to turn it around and say it's an aggressive breed dog - But there is no doubt that aggressive dog attacks are increasing. There is also very little understanding out there on the aggressive dog. That, too, needs to be turned around. ... http://www.squidoo.com/aggressivedog Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:51:56 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:00:54 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/aggressivedog A steadily growing problem in the United States is the Aggressive Dog - whether it be dog and food aggression, or whether people want to turn it around and say it's an aggressive breed dog - But there is no doubt that aggressive dog attacks are increasing.

But the biggest contributor to the aggressive dog behavior problem is not aggressive dog breeds, or dog to dog aggression, or need of training for aggressive dogs.  The biggest contributor is lack of education -- People are not educated on how to approach and handle dogs in the first place! My goal in writing this lens is to try to help people understand the symptoms of aggression in dog, how to avoid dogs that display aggressive dog tendencies, and how to avoid adopting dogs that have it.  Below I'll tell you what to do if your currently have an aggressive dog - and what NOT to do, because some common actions will only increase aggression in dog.
