Behavioral Therapy will often be the main form of treatment, and the veterinarian will usually recommend a canine behaviourist to help your dog and your family. Behavioral therapy may include modification of the dog’s behavior, desensitization, eliminating triggers, training and much more. The behavioral therapist must get to know your dog and may come into the home to help you, and will even teach you strategies to help your dog. Making sure that your home environment is calm and predictable may be a recommendation by the veterinarian or behavioral therapist. Consistent and proper routine management is one step to helping dog aggression. If you do not have a routine with your dog, and his day-to-day living is very unpredictable, a change will need to be made. This may take time, and things may have to be eliminated from the dog’s life in order to decrease his aggression, but will be worth it in the end.
