Territorial aggression


The characteristic of territorial aggression in dogs protection estimated since domestication and selective breeding. This property varies considerably in dogs, dogs that show absolutely no protective nature, others, like the attack to defend their territory and try to defend its territorial expansion.The development of protective land in dogs is linked to sexual maturity. A dog is the most easily agree, but not overly protective behaviors performed when the instinct of protection is first addressed at this time appears.


Owner of livestock guarding dogs have a responsibility to teach their dogs to the limit of their care. Be careful not to set limits Protect your dog, lest he cease all protection. You want to teach him what you keep threatening and what you do. You will also want to teach him that when you are at home, the decision on who is allowed in your home that does not work.

The problems are barking warnings of problems of territorial protection. By controlling excessive barking of a dog, the owner takes the first step to solve a problem of territorial protection.

It is important to note that when you see a dog in the protector of less than six months, think it's likely that what you really see the aggression is fear. One way to distinguish between fear of aggression protective aggression is the dog reacts to evaluate in different contexts. The guard dog is friendly towards strangers in his territory, even if it is accompanied by its owner. The frightened dog behaves aggressively towardstrangers everywhere.

Another mistake people make is protective in terms of the myth of television and literature, which naturally protect their own dogs immortalized. Dogs instinctively protect their territory, usually prefer to chase intruders rather than stay in a confrontation. They protect themselves and their food and toys, but rarely for the protection of persons, except when a child is to replace a puppy and is protected by a dog. The dogs are trained to man (and note that training is required for a dog with a good temperament to attack people), defending the dog to attack on himself, or by the use of its instinct to kill prey attack.

Dogs protect their owners as a source of affection and food, as much as they would to protect bone. Some owners believe that's protective. Dogs that kind of direct aggression in humans and other dogs. Usually the dog is stroked to sit on the lap of the owner, if someone non-threatening approach. The dog growls when the person to keep them away. The owner must immediately flush the dog in her lap, rather than flattered by this behavior. This behavior can also look like jealousy, especially when a dog growls at another dog to keep him away from the Owner.

He barks when someone is unfaithful to your property, but ignored by children riding on bicycles. He keeps barking on command, but continued to keep a watchful eye. If you tell someone at the door is correct, he voluntarily friendl openings to him or her. He would not allow anyone into your home if you are not just for a few friends or family members, he knows good home. They feel safer when you're home alone you will be notified if someone is coming, and yet you are never afraid of your dog biting someone when you have company. Because he is not afraid of man, if he does not defend its territory, it will not hesitate. This type of dog is the product of good race, good breeding and good training.
