Health comes first

Sudden changes in behavior - including new aggression, fear, lethargy, restlessness or house-soiling - can be caused by pain or illness. Always consult your veterinarian. Read more in sudden changes in dog behavior.

Aggression and safety

If a dog has bitten, or you are concerned about safety, keep people and animals safe through management and contact a veterinary behaviorist or certified behavior consultant. Do not attempt to resolve serious aggression using online information alone.

No professional relationship
