Episode 254: Seeing the dog in a new light

April 02, 2023

In this episode, we explore the topic of seeing your dog in a new light after they display unexpected aggressive or concerning behaviour. As dog owners, we often assume that we know our pets inside out and understand their behaviour patterns. However, sometimes our dogs can surprise us and exhibit behaviour that we don’t expect or fully understand.


When a dog displays aggressive behaviour, it can be a jarring experience for their owners. Suddenly, the dog that we have loved and cared for can seem like a completely different animal. But it’s important to remember that aggression in dogs is not uncommon and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as fear, anxiety, or a medical condition.


One of the keys to dealing with aggressive behaviour in dogs is to understand what triggers it. By identifying the root cause of the behaviour, dog owners can take steps to address the issue and work towards a solution. It’s also essential to seek the help of a professional canine trainer or behaviourist to guide you through the process.


Seeing your dog in a new light can be a challenging experience, but it can also be an opportunity for growth and understanding. By working with your pet and seeking professional help, you can build a stronger bond with your mate and help them overcome any behavioural issues they may be facing.
