Explaining "why" to a dog is pretty useless. You have to engage their instincts in order to change their behavior.

Repetition creates the master.

Dogs do know how comfortable you are with yourself, how happy you are, how fearful you are, and what is missing inside of you.

There is no such thing as a problem breed. However, there is no shortage of 'problem owners'.

Aggression is not a breed thing. Its a state of mind, and it comes from how the human is with the dog. There are four levels of energy, regardless of the breed: low, medium, high, very high. The idea is to get a dog in your same level or lower than you.

It's important to note that aggression isn't the problem. It's the outcome of a problem.

Dogs and other animals we bring into our homes serve as one of our most important links to Mother Nature. We may not think about it consciously, but they are our lifelines to a part of ourselves that we are at the brink of losing altogether.
