In some cases, aggression issues due to fear can become unmanageable with behavior modification and training methods alone. Chronic fear and aggression may require psychiatric medications to assist in treatment. The most commonly used psychiatric medications for canines include Benzodiazepine Derivatives, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, and Tricyclic Anti-anxiety Medications. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are one of the most frequently prescribed medication for anxiety disorders, and Fluoxetine is one of the more successful treatment methods for aggression issues. Unfortunately, dogs often build up an immunity to the compounds used for these treatments making them less suitable for long term usage. Most psychiatric medications require six to eight weeks before substantial improvement is seen, although a few are relatively fast acting.
