Violent dogs: instinct or education? Influential factors. It is true that for years there have been races such as pit bulls or rottweilers, among others, that have been used for fights. We explain the factors that influence dog aggression:

1. DNA

Whether or not DNA influences so-called 'potentially dangerous' races has always been a debate. It is true that the constant crosses -generation after generation- of dogs with violent character that altered or distorted these breeds has influenced that today pitbulls or rottweilers have a tendency to be aggressive.

In this sense, a good socialization since they are puppies, as well as an adequate training, can alleviate a large part of this behavior.

2. A bad imprinting.

The imprinting is the season of development of the puppies in their family environment so that it is a balanced animal in all its actions. When this is carried out incorrectly and the puppy's mother is stripped before the indicated time, the babies could have mental and behavioral problems.

3. The example of the parents.

If the mother of the puppies, or other older dogs that are around her, have been used for fights and show this behavior to the little ones, they will absorb it without any problem. Babies dogs, like humans, are like sponges able to absorb and imitate any attitude.

4. Bad education.

Another factor that influences the aggressiveness of these breeds is that many adopters do not understand that these dogs require special education. Because they have seen the aggressiveness in their environment and, because they themselves grow as powerful because of their composition and the strength of their teeth, they need to know who is the leader of the pack.

That is, you have to teach them to listen and obey your voice, and they have to understand that you are the one in charge and that they are below you.

5. Abuse.

The dogs that are acquired in stores come from hatcheries and transport them in unhealthy conditions: small cages in which they can not move, or large ones in which they put many specimens together. Many times their needs are not cleaned and they are not given to drink or eat during the trip, which can be thousands of kilometers.

In fact, of these dogs that are taken to the stores, they only survive half, and sometimes less. All this disorder can influence the character of the dog and, of course, its aggressive tendencies.

So, let's try to solve the question: aggressive dogs, instinct or education ?, there is no clear answer, since the factors that influence it are varied. Does instinct influence? Yes. Does education influence? Yes, more than instinct, but that does not mean that we should stop taking precautions, because we are responsible for the physical damages that our can cause to other people or pets.
