How to React to Episodes of Aggression (towards yourself)
Written by Dr. Stephanie Schwartz: Canine and Feline Behavior Problems

FEAR & the Use of Systematic Desensitization
 By Doctors McKeown, Luescher and Machum of the Ontario Veterinary College. These techniques have worked well in the past, but they obviously require a great deal of commitment from you if they are to be effective. Although your dog will always be fearful, with these techniques you can train him to accept situations in which his fear response is totally inappropriate

Protocol for Desensitization and Counterconditioning to Noises and Activities That Occur by the Door
By Dr. Karen Overall "Some dogs that are fearfully aggressive or those that are protectively or territorially aggressive react whenever anyone comes to a door and rings the doorbell or knocks. Because the reaction level at the door is a key in the dog's increasing anxieties, clients often need to work separately on desensitizing and counterconditioning the dogs to noises and activities around the door."

Canine Behaviors Associated With Hypothyroidism (cost for article $5 US for two day access)
Recently, there have been anecdotal reports noting a potential relationship between hypothyroidism and canine aggression. In these circumstances, aggression may be the only presenting complaint with the animal often described as having developed a "grumpy" attitude. While the underlying basis of this association has not been determined, hypothyroidism-associated aggression should be considered a specific type of aggression that appears to respond well to thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
