How to eliminate this behavior?
Dogs that exhibit territorial aggression are most often insecure and control who has access to them to ensure their safety and survival.Some dog trainers consider this to be dominant behaviour and will recommend that you use one of the outdated methods or punish your dog for every such act, guaranteeing you a good result in a week.Imagine you go to a psychologist and he guarantees to get rid of your problem in a few days.You know that can’t be true.Since territorial aggression like almost any other kind of aggression is built on insecurity and fear your dog need time and support to change how they feel emotionally.
