New study might have the answer to why your dog keeps lashing out
Has your dog ever lashed out at someone or another doggie? Hormones may be the cause, according to a new report. Scientists from the University of Arizona recently conducted an experiment, published in Frontiers in Psychology, to determine how biology can affect aggression.
To do so, they examined pets of varying ages, breeds and sexes, whose owners reported struggles with leash hostility. Scientists also took a look at non-aggressive fur babies of the same sex, age and breed to serve as a comparison, measuring the hormone levels of all the dogs throughout the assessment.
