The Aggressive Dog Personality
Understanding The Aggressive Dog Personality
The aggressive personality type is an extremely dominant dog that will generally resist human leadership. This personality type can easily be provoked into biting or going on the all out offensive both against humans and other dogs. This personality type requires a rigorous and stringent training program as well as precise guidance to effectively control them and channel their aggressive energy in a positive direction. These dogs are generally intelligent, straight forward thinkers and are an excellent choice for guard or police dogs.
In the Daycare environment the untrained or un-socialized aggressive dog is an absolute no no. They will go on the offensive with both the other dogs and the staff. The un-socialized dog will find it difficult to adapt to this new situation and will instinctively revert back to their basic personality trait (aggressive) as a default to get them through this new situation, while the untrained dog will use aggression to dominate the other members of your daycare facility as well as staff due to the fact that they have not been taught to channel this in a positive direction. However the socialized or trained aggressive personality can not be instantly ruled out of participating in Daycare with the proper supervision, although it should be avoided if possible due to a lack of compatibility with the other personality types. The key to having this personality group in your facility is the style of supervision and balance.
If your staff members have or demonstrate weak personality traits then the aggressive personality type will take control and there will be conflict and the potential for fights as your staff members attempt to maintain control. With regard to balance, any more than two aggressive personality types in a play area leads to the possibility of fights between the two as they attempt to assert control. A good example would be military working dogs or police dogs. They may function well in a home environment with a firm leader even being not just tolerant but loving of children and the family cat. However, if two aggressive personality types attempted to share the same home, the potential for conflict would increase dramatically.
This personality type is not compatible with the aggressive, confident, outgoing, or insecure personality types.
This personality type is moderately compatible with the independent, only to the point that they may tolerate each other if adequate space permits while failing to form a close pack bond.
This personality type is compatible with the adaptable personality due to the inherent submissiveness of the adaptable.
