AGGRESSION & PROBLEM BEHAVIORS:  It is important to note that one or more of the following links may contain recommendations to use force corrections on a dog with an aggression problem.  This is NOT recommended by responsible animal behaviorists and can make true aggression problems worse.  It is also important to note that most "aggression" problems in dogs are related to dominance, territorial, or similar issues rather than a truly dangerous or vicious nature.
