Just the other night, when I was walking my dog, I was thinking of how our neighbourhood would appear to her. Me, I see lots of houses where people live, people who own dogs. But to her, its just empty hills, and when we happen to meet someone, they are from whereever, far away, and strangers. Dogs only react to what is present, that is something to keep in mind. They have no recollection, or understanding of duty or moral behaviour. | |

| Mar 12, 2015 at 17:35 | comment | added | TLP | As for training the behaviour away, I would say that it would be a very difficult task for the average dog owner, bordering on impossible, given that most of the aggression occurs when the dog is unsupervised, and this is a natural instinct, which is difficult to suppress. | |
| Mar 12, 2015 at 17:33 | comment | added | TLP | As you say, "barrier aggression" is something that comes naturally to dogs. I'll wager it is stronger in some breeds, and weaker in some. In either case, it is a bad situation to place your dog in, and the responsibility is always with the owner. The question seems rather futile, though. It is though you want to ask "Is it fair to blame the owner", and the answer is "Yes, it is. They should not put their dog in such a stressful situation. If the dog cannot handle it, it should not be there." | |
