We meet the redirected aggression of the dog when two male dogs, who stand guard, throw themselves against the portal by barking because a stranger approached. Suddenly, one of the two, over-excited, turns to the other and bites him violently, continuing until their master arrives and separates them.

If the intruder goes away, the tension falls, and the two dogs become friends, to fight again in a similar situation.

Usually, it is the dominant dog that unloads the tension accumulated on the dominated dog because it can not attack the visitor, who is protected by the portal. The redirected aggression can be against an animal, of the same or completely different species, and against the man.

Do not introduce another dog, especially male, if the one present is a male and has a strong tendency to dominate.
