Aggression in different actions occurs for several causes in various contexts. When defending their territory, safeguarding their progeny, and protecting themselves, almost all wild animals are violent.

Humans and dogs, for example, use violence and the fear of aggressiveness to maintain peace and negotiate social interactions. Aggression refers to actions that generally begin with warnings and can end in an attack.

During an aggressive scenario, dogs may abandon their attempts at any time. This includes stiffening and going motionless, growling, snarling, baring fangs, lunging, nipping, and biting.

Aggression does not have to be aimed toward someone in particular. Some dogs become hostile in the presence of other animals, only certain animals (cats but not other dogs), or inanimate things such as wheels or yard equipment.

If your dog habitually growls, snaps, or bites, you may have an aggressiveness problem on your hands. Aggressive dogs require a dog trainer or animal behaviorist.

Moreover, only larger dogs and so-called "dangerous breeds" are prone to violence. Any breed may become violent under the appropriate conditions.

This distinction between an aggressive Chihuahua and an aggressive pit bull is that larger species may inflict proportionately more damage. It is critical to recognize the strength of a power breed, such as the pit bull, Cane Corso, or Mastiff.

These canines are powerful and, if imbalanced, can inflict catastrophic harm. Remember, these puppies do not aspire to be in the headlines growing up.

OP shared about not being a fan of dogs, but also never had issues with them.

However, when OP's sister came over, she had no choice but to keep the dog in its cage, considering its aggressiveness towards children.

"That dog is a lawsuit waiting to happen."

Before planning to get a dog, thorough research and training should be observed.

"Did you show him the destroyed bedroom??"

He should know that crating a dog is normal.

The importance of socializing the dog with people.

Consider neutering the dog due to its aggressive behavior.

The smaller the breed of the dog, the more aggressive it is because it is one of their defense mechanisms.

Kennel trained dog love their crate as it is their safe zone.

"But sometimes that's the only option you have and it doesn't hurt the dog."

Doing crate punishments for not more than eight hours is advisable.

Maybe hemp chews are not for him.

Smaller breed tend to be the most territorial and active ones.

Husband should realize that crates are used to help keep the dog safe.

What is even the point of having a kennel though?

Stop using pets to avoid dealing with your relationship issues.

"If it came down to the safety of a baby, especially a newborn, and the dog?"

Dogs feels happier and more secure in their crates.

There is a need for the dog to have an appointment with the veterinary to assess its behavior.

"It's not a bad thing."

"What's going to happen if you have a baby?"

Dog owners have plenty of responsibilities. Besides giving it food and shelter, they are also responsible for training it and socializing it.

It is commendable that OP and her husband took the dog to training classes, but they probably went lenient after it, and the dog got confused and went back to its old ways.
