Comment to 'Aggressive Behavior'
  • Is agressive behaviour always negative? No, but the answer is breed dependent. You wouldn't want a breed that is supposed to be friendly to be aggressive. When talking about the CO it should be aggressive.

    Do you think it belongs to guard dogs? It should, yes. Otherwise you have a nice watchdog.

    Can a guard dog be good without agressive behaviour? I don't see how. Like stated above, it could make a nice watchdog.

    Is growling and barking for all people agressive behaviour? No, not necessarily. I've known of non-aggressive dogs that growl and bark (i.e. fear reactions). Can there be dominance without agression? Yes.

    Can a dog be a good protection dog without agression so yes what makes the diffrence between guarding/protective behaviour and agressive behaviour.

    If we're talking about a real protection dog than a degree of aggression must be present. If we're talking about a dog that 'protects' the family by warning them of the presence of strangers than aggression isn't necessary. Even a small barking dog can deter bad guys.
