@gretatrainsdogs: 💪 As requested, here is the update on Goose! 😱 Insecure dogs often develop fear aggression as a defensive response to perceived threats. When a dog lacks confidence, whether due to poor socialization, past trauma, or inconsistent leadership, they become hyper-aware of potential dangers. Their fight-or-flight response is easily triggered, and if they feel cornered or unable to escape, they resort to aggression as a way to create distance. ⚠️ Fear-aggressive dogs typically show warning signs like lip licking, whale eye, or freezing before escalating to growling, snapping, or biting. Balanced training addresses this by building the dog's confidence through clear structure, leadership, and exposure to controlled stressors. Proper socialization, obedience training, and calm, assertive handling teach the dog to trust their handler and make better choices under pressure. By reinforcing stability and security, we can transform an insecure, fear-aggressive dog into a more balanced and predictable companion. 🐕 Though there is always work to be done, we couldn't be more proud of Goose, the Labrador mix, and his people and how they embraced benevolent leadership! #leashtraining #offleashtraining #DogTraining #puppytraining #labradormix #doglovers #dogtrainer #obediancetraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #DogTraining #dogloversclub #dogbehavior #dogmomlife #dogdad #doglife #bergencounty #bergencountynj #gretatrainsdogs #GTD
