Sometimes, stress can show itself in displays of aggressive dog behavior.
Dogs are like anything else when it comes to reactions.
No two dogs are ever going to react the same way to the same things.
Stress can present itself in different ways depending on the amount of stress.
Holidays are usually a time for large amounts of stress for our pets.
You have the loud noises, twinkling lights, strange people, crowds, and changes in our own behavior as well that your pet is going to react to.
When you are talking about that much strain it really is not all that uncommon to see aggressive dog behavior as a result.
Locking your pet away in a room is not always the best answer though it keeps them from hurting someone; it also puts even more stress on your pet.
This is not at all healthy for them.
You do have alternatives to that however.
You can choose to use some natural supplements to calm your pet down through the holiday season.
You also might want to consider reducing all the noise decorations in your home, and have the lights blinking slowly on the tree.
All of these can help your pet out and none of them will harm your pet in any way either.
Natural remedies are available to help with dog behaviors including aggression and they can be a very effective and safe way to calm your pet.
Make the holidays less stressful for both of you this year and you both might enjoy them more.
