Almost all dogs have a certain degree of territorial awareness, which is a nature imprinted in their genes. The so-called territorial awareness is actually a kind of self-protection behavior. They want to protect their own territory and "property". However, it is not a good thing for dogs to be too territorial. In order to protect their "properties", they will fight with other dogs, strangers and even their owners, which also makes them difficult to get close to.

Causes of excessive territorial awareness in dogs:

1. Genetic factors: Dogs are born with a certain sense of territory, which is a nature imprinted in their genes.

2. Learning the day after tomorrow is an important reason. Once a dog discovers that his aggression can scare others away, this behavior is virtually encouraged, forming a conditioned reflex that becomes difficult to correct. Owners must not chase and yell after their dogs, as this will make the dog think that this behavior can attract the owner's attention.

3. What we should pay attention to is that most of the territorial aggression of dogs has fear factors. When a dog is very afraid of you intruding into its territory, it will show aggressive behavior. At this time, do not approach the dog. Instead, use snacks to slowly eliminate the dog's fear of you, and then further interact with the dog. touch.

How to correct a dog’s excessive territorial awareness:

1. Training should start from an early age, because dogs have the strongest plasticity in their puppyhood. Grasp a suitable degree to let the dog understand that it can have a sense of self-protection, but the territorial awareness should not be too strong. If you have friends at home, you can let the dog get along with them more, so that they can slowly understand that not everyone Strangers threaten their territory.

2. Neutering is also a good idea. After the dog is neutered, his personality will become relatively docile, and his territorial awareness will not be as strong as before.

3. If a dog hurts an innocent stranger because of protecting its territory, do not show any encouraging behavior, stop it in time and provide appropriate education.

A dog's arrogance has a lot to do with the owner's usual discipline. If the dog has a bad habit of having a strong sense of territory, the owner should also reflect on whether there is a problem with his usual behavior and attitude towards the dog.
