In dogs, you can see many types of aggression and most of these traits are distributed evenly by the nature. Here are some of the most common types of dog aggression:

· Defensive aggression that is induced by a fear factor,
· Dominant aggression,
· Possessive Aggression,
· Territorial aggression that arises out of fierce loyalty for its living space,
· Intra sexual aggression,
· Predatory aggression that is induced by hunting and protection tendencies,
· Parental aggression that is displayed when a mother is nursing her puppies.

Dominantly-aggressive puppies are labeled as very confident and muscular. When they are fully grown, they have the habit of showing their full gait by standing up on their hind legs and kneel on a table or a settee.

They show their projected and upright ears as a mark of their growing presence. Their tails are set very high, while their tail wagging is leisurely with a hint of arrogance. Their eyes are sharp, while their stares look very pointed and straight.

These dogs are very demanding in their nature and they are always on the move, even at the cost of your children; just watch your dog pushing your small kids while crossing the door. They love outdoors and when they are on leash, may even try to outsmart you! These dogs are possessive of their sleeping quarters and feeding bowls.

It is often a big headache to control these dogs. On the other hand, defensively aggressive dogs are very fickle minded in their behavior. By nature, these dogs are very submissive and their overall behavior testifies to this undeniable fact.

They have a set of ears that set flat over the head, while the eye contact is not direct, and they look away when you look at their eyes. These dogs tuck their tails in between their legs and show a habit of submissive urination whenever someone tries to go near them. These dogs will also throw a lot of tantrums by rolling over their belly and by licking your hands.

These weak dogs neither like you to touch their bodies nor love grooming sessions. They have a tendency of attacking people from behind their back; most of the time, they look very defensive in stature, but in reality very coward in attitude.

Possessive aggression is more common in dogs that are trying to guard their belongings like bowls and bed. All most all dogs tend to own this aggressive behavior and there is not even a single identifiable character that will help you to label the dogs as possessively aggressive.
