Alleviate fear aggression by slowly socializing your dog, which will help them understand that other dogs, pets, and humans don’t always mean harm. To lessen your dog’s territorial reaction, reward calm behavior when visitors come to your home and enroll them in obedience training. Obedience training will help them react to your command when telling them to stay calm. If your dog is chasing animals in the yard, take them on walks instead. Only hike with your dog on a leash if they chase prey while hiking. Intra-household aggression can be alleviated by separating your dogs and slowly re-socializing them until their interactions are calm. Control-related aggression is highly preventable with proper education and training for the dog owner. To manage resource guarding aggression, simply pick up your dog's toys, food bowls, and other possessions when your dog is not using them.

When working with dogs with behavior issues, its important to realize that all dog behavior is trying to achieve something. Anytime you have a dog that is acting aggressive to people it doesn’t know, it’s important to understand that the dog is not thinking in a clear frame of mind. The best thing to do is increase the distance between it and whatever it is reacting to. Outdoor greetings are a great way to introduce someone to a dog who acts aggressive to strangers. If the dog starts barking lunging or showing other signs of being uncomfortable, you should increase the distance and try again later. I recommended that they practice this technique often, but arrange for a very short visits. It’s more important that the dog has a positive experience without reacting than the length of the visit. They may also want to consider discussing medication‘s with her vet as I have found these to be very helpful for dogs who are reactive towards strangers.
