To treat an aggressive dog, you should first try to identify the cause of their aggression. Possible causes include lack of socialization, fear or anxiety, resource protection, and health problems. For behavioral treatment, you may want to work with an animal behaviorist or consult a book on dog obedience to establish boundaries and provide correct behaviors for your dog. If necessary medications or other interventions may be suggested as well.

Treating an aggressive dog can be a challenging task as it requires knowledge and skill. You will need to create a positive environment around the dog, while also managing the situation calmly and consistently, using methods that gradually decrease the level of aggression. Socializing the dog with other people and animals may help too, as well as training sessions aimed at improving behavior. It’s important to establish clear rules in order for the animal to understand what’s expected of it. Lastly, psychological approaches such as applied behavior analysis should be used when appropriate.
