Aggression-ish: Fear, Conflict, and Control in Sporting Breeds

What happens when dogs who don’t bite get scared or angry?

Many of our most popular pet dogs have been bred for generations to not bite down hard. They’ve been specifically selected to be easy to handle and have a high tolerance for people. But does that mean they can’t be aggressive?

A lot of dogs described as hyper, rude, out of control, or even joyful, are actually deeply uncomfortable with people. Their guardians are living with the embarrassment, pain, and fear of having a dog they can’t control. They have been struggling, sometimes for years, to get help that takes the gravity of their situation into account. And the longer these problems are misidentified, the worse they get.

In Aggression-ish: Fear, Conflict, and Control in Sporting Breeds, Liza Rader offers a new framework for understanding these dogs.

This 90 minute webinar will cover:

  • An interdisciplinary perspective on aggression and violence
  • How retrievers, pointers, spaniels, and water dogs have been bred to express stress and fear differently
  • What aggressive behaviour can look like when dogs don’t bite down hard
  • How to communicate these concepts empathetically and effectively

We will also delve into what we can do to truly help these dogs and guardians.

If you want to expand your understanding of aggressive and fearful behavior in dogs, have been confounded by hyper or rude dogs before, or if you’ve been struggling with your own dog’s big feelings about people, this webinar is for you.
