As aclinical animal behaviourist, I often get called out to see dogs who are described as ‘bad’, ‘aggressive’, ‘naughty’, ‘dominant’, or ‘stubborn’.
The first thing to point out is that there is no such thing as bad behaviour! It is so important for owners to know that their dog isn’t ignoring them, barking at the postman, or chasing the cat, because he’s bad; he’s doing it because these are all completely natural responses as far as a dog is concerned.
