Is Your Dog Showing Signs of Aggression?

Dog aggression—whether directed at people, other dogs, or animals—is not a personality trait, but a learned behavior. In most cases, aggression stems from fear, insecurity, or confusion. When mixed with adrenaline and a lack of clear guidance, it can quickly escalate into dangerous situations.

At Bark Busters Boston Northwest, we believe no dog is beyond help. If your dog is showing signs of aggression, it’s critical to get support from a professional trainer. We’ll work with you in your home to identify what’s triggering your dog’s behavior and create a personalized training plan to reduce tension, build trust, and restore safety. Common forms of aggression we address:

• Aggression toward other dogs or animals 
• Human-directed aggression 
• Food and toy guarding 
• Possessive and territorial aggression 
• Resource guarding 

Resource guarding—where dogs become defensive over food, toys, or space—is one of the most common issues we see, but it’s also one of the most fixable with the right approach.

Put a Stop to Unwanted Barking

Barking is one of the most frequent concerns we hear from dog owners in the Boston Northwest area. While barking is a natural way for dogs to communicate, excessive or nuisance barking often signals stress, insecurity, or a lack of clear boundaries—and it can quickly become a major frustration for you and your neighbors.

Why Do Dogs Bark Excessively?

Understanding why your dog barks is the first step to solving the problem. Common triggers include:

• Separation anxiety when you leave 
• Visitors, delivery drivers, or passersby 
• Other dogs barking nearby
• Excitement, frustration, or boredom 
• Attention seeking or demanding behavior
• Startle or fear responses
• Territorial instincts

At Bark Busters Boston Northwest, we don’t just teach your dog to stop barking—we help you understand why they’re barking in the first place. Then we guide you in using calm, consistent communication your dog naturally understands to change the behavior at its root.
