Training is essential to control Brownie as much as possible and give him fixed and safe rules to avoid aggressive episodes. Reducing aggression would start from understanding what is the reason for these episodes first (so please try to define them better) and then addressing them. An example would be territorial aggression or aggression against other dogs or humans. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
