Why do dogs behave aggressively in the first place?

Breed characteristics

The surprising fact is that aggression is often shown by representatives of small breeds. They can provoke other dogs and then "hide" behind the authority of the owner.

However, most often such behavior is typical for representatives of fighting breeds, experts note. This is explained by the fact that they were originally bred to dominate other animals. However, with proper upbringing, even a "fighter" can be made friendly and devoid of aggression towards his fellows.

Others were simply deprived of normal socialization and adaptation. In this case, you just need to correct the behavior.
