Aggressive Behavior
Aggressive dogs are not bad dogs.
Often, aggression in dogs stems from inadequate socialization. Dogs that haven't received proper training or socialization as puppies need to learn appropriate behaviors around unfamiliar people, situations, and other dogs. While many aggressive behaviors originate in puppyhood, they can manifest at any age. Genetic factors can also predispose certain breeds or individual dogs to aggression. Additionally, early experiences such as traumatic events, lack of proper care or training, and insufficient attention can contribute to aggressive behaviors. We recommend that the Pet Owners give Hooray Hounds in case of emergency contact information in the event of pet becoming aggressive.
In the event of the pet being too aggressive with staff, other pet, or itself Hooray Hounds will notify Pet Owner, their Pet with be relocated to the in case of emergency contact, which the Pet Owner provided. A refund of days left over from service will returned to customer.
