Too Much Stress Can Cause A Dog To Bite


Even the gentlest, most loving dog can be induced to bite. Dogs' teeth are important tools, and every dog is aware of their potential use as offensive or defensive weapons.

Every dog has a bite threshold (a point beyond which, if pushed, he will bite). Some dogs' bite thresholds are low; some are high. Aggression is caused by stress. Each thing that causes a dog stress is a small building block toward that dog's bite threshold. The lower a particular dog's bite threshold is and the more things that cause that dog stress, the more likely he is to bite.

The four common dog stressors are: small children under age 4; thunder; men with beards; and moderate to severe pain.

The longer a dog's list of stressors, the more likely he is to eventually bite someone. This is why early and ongoing socialization is critically important. It may be the best thing you can do to ensure that your pet lives a long and happy life.
