There's a short period in every puppy's development, from very early puppyhood to three or four months of age, when his experiences have a big effect on his entire approach to life. Bad experiences during this period can develop them into being fearful and aggressive of other dogs and people...

∙ 15y agoAggression is born from anxiety and fear. Something unfamiliar appears--be it an object, person, or other animal--and your dog interprets it as threatening.
If your dog displays aggressive behavior, guidance from an experienced dog behaviorist is crucial. Leaving the problem unchecked can only lead to trouble.

∙ 13y agoEnroll him to socialization classes. Socialization is the first step in raising a well-behaved dog. During the first weeks of their lives, puppies go through a critical period of development. When a puppy is exposed to new people, dogs, places, and situations in a positive way during this period, there's a good chance he'll be calm and accepting when he experiences them again later in life. Your puppy should meet and interact with as many types of people, animals, and environments as possible.

Are black labs aggressive?
Absolutely not. Labradors by their very nature are gentle, loving and loyal pets. They'd much rather play than be aggressive. If you have one that's aggressive (and I really hate to say this), chances are it was made that way. As a side note, although most labs are NOT aggressive with people, labs can be aggressive with other animals. In fact, it is worth noting that labs are more dominant and independent than many dogs. Any dog can be aggressive and that's why you need to establish yourself as the boss. If you research black lab aggression, you will find many cases (specifically, involving other dogs).

Which is the most aggressive dog?
The most aggressive dogs are Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and German Sheppard's All three of these dogs made the list of the top 10 dogs that bite people. Looking at each of these dogs its understandable why each is so aggressive. The Rottweiler was bred to be a very aggressive/possessive guard-dog. The Pit Bull was bred to attack and kill the other dog in the sport of dog fighting. And, lastly the German Sheppard was taken advantage of during World War 2 by Hitler. He used the dog as an aggressive war dog and consequently caused the breed to become over-ally more aggressive.
