To prevent territorial aggression in dogs, you can try the following strategies:
Socialization: Expose your dog to different people, animals, and environments from a young age to help them feel more comfortable and less threatened in various situations.
Obedience training: Teach your dog basic commands such as "sit," "stay," and "leave it" to have better control over their behavior.
Provide enough exercise and mental stimulation: A well-exercised and mentally stimulated dog is less likely to exhibit territorial aggression.
Avoid reinforcing territorial behavior: Do not encourage your dog to bark at passersby or react aggressively to perceived threats.
Create a safe space: Give your dog a designated area where they feel secure and can retreat to when they feel anxious or threatened.
Consult a professional: If your dog's territorial aggression persists or escalates, seek help from a certified dog trainer or behaviorist for personalized guidance.
