Getting Rid of Aggressive Behavior in Puppies

A puppy that lacks socialization is often more prone to exhibiting aggressive behavior. This negative behavior is fueled by fear and anxiety for something or someone that the puppy is not familiar with. When a puppy encounters something that he is not at ease with, he either acts aggressively or cowers in fear. It is also for this reason that many dog bites in kids are usually linked to pets which was not given adequate socialization. 

Spending time with other dogs is certainly a good learning experience. A puppy that is quite a rough player will often find himself being disciplined by other dogs in the pack. This is a perfectly natural instinct that is often manifested even though domestication has dulled the dog's wild animal instincts. 

Learning positive behavior from another dog can help your dog adjust and deal well with his environment without being fearful and destructive. Socialization is a rich ground for developing confidence that also allows them to use their excess energy in an acceptable and beneficial avenue.
