What if you could unlock the secrets of understanding your dog's behaviors and communication and better understand the signs of aggression in your dog?
Our conversation with Dr. Jim Crosby, a canine aggression expert, dives deep into this complex topic and provides valuable insights for pet owners and animal rescue workers alike.
We explore the intricacies of aggression as a cluster of behaviors and Dr Crosby shares the extreme cases of non-fatal and fatal dog bites he has encountered and investigated. We also discuss the importance of understanding and respecting our dogs' body language and natural instincts, the difference between compliance and cooperation, and how to recognize signs of stress. The conversation also delves into the challenges faced by animal rescue organizations, from managing community dogs to balancing safety with care for animals in need.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to better understand their pets, work effectively with rescue animals, or simply deepen their knowledge of canine behavior and communication. By learning to read and respond to our dogs' cues, we can foster stronger and safer relationships with our beloved companions.
