Three Types Of Aggression Of Corgis

There are three types of aggression that your corgi could have, dominance, possessive, or territorial. Two of the aggressions ( territorial and possessive ) may cause your corgi to attack to keep their area or item safe which could lead to a injury for your corgi or the other dog that your corgi thinks is trying to take what is theirs. If your corgi has any of these aggressions, you must train your corgi to behave in public before it ever goes out to see people or things may go wrong.

Dominance Aggression Of Corgis

Dominance aggression can be just try to stay top dog. Most of the attempts of dominance that any dog tries effects people who don’t know that their corgi is trying to be more dominant. Your corgi may try and gain dominance by your corgi eating first, getting on top of you if your playing close to the ground, you move out of the way when your corgi blocks you off, or your corgi wins any game that uses strength. Dominance aggression is one of the hardest to be trained to stop because of instinct. Being more dominant than your corgi will stop this from occurring.

Possessive Aggression Of Corgis

Possessive aggression commonly happens with the runt of the liter due to survival instincts and how a pack works. The main problem is trying not to get bitten by getting near what your corgi is guarding. The item may be something as simple as a bone in most cases or food. Your corgi’s aggression for possession of something tends to stop when he or she gets older. Possessive aggression may also be to protect you, which can be a problem if other dogs are around. Again this tends tends to fade away when your corgi gets older, but sometimes it may not. But like dominance aggression, being more dominant can help stop your corgi from being as possessive over stuff.

Territorial Aggression Of Corgis

Territorial aggression, tends to be similar to possessive, but differs in some parts. Your corgi is protecting something, usually an area which he or she claims is his, while allowing certain dogs or humans to pass. Anyone which your corgi considers a stranger may be warned then attacked if the warning is ignored. This can be a serious try of aggression depending on what your corgi is trying to protect. This type of aggression will occur in younger and smaller corgis. Many times it is because of instinct that this happens. When your corgi is older this aggression, like the others, will fade. But the same thing with being dominant can also fix this problem.
