Aggressive dog, dog bites. Consultation with a zoopsychologist
Almost every week I get messages: «My dog bit me. I have 5 stitches. What should I do with the dog now?».
Each case of aggressive behavior in a dog is unique. But in general, they are all similar — root causes, warnings from the dog before it started biting, symptoms. You can fight this, you need to work on it. You need to learn to interact with the dog. Although living with a dog that bites is very difficult.
My name is Veronika Voitovska. I am a certified zoopsychologist. The owner of a large kennel of serious dog breeds — American pit bull terriers and American bullies. At the moment, there are 15 adult dogs in my kennel. I am an expert cynologist. Judge of dog shows in Europe. Judge of sports competitions for dogs. Doctor. Every day I consult on issues of aggression in dogs — aggression in dogs towards people, aggression in dogs towards children, aggression in dogs towards other dogs, guarding their food, and so on.
I understand what it is like to live with an aggressive dog. Many years ago I bought an adult male dog for a kennel. He arrived with very pronounced aggression towards people. At the same time, he was a very kind, gentle boy. But at the moment when his hormones exploded in his body, when «darkness came» in his head, he tried to bite everyone in a row. Right in the face, attacking from behind, it made no difference. I worked with this male dog for a very long time. I learned absolutely everything about his relatives. It turned out that at that time, half of his brothers and sisters had already been euthanized. Precisely because of uncontrollable aggression towards families.
For over a year I fought for a normal life for this dog, but unfortunately his psyche was like that from the very beginning, from the moment he was born. Nothing was a provoking factor for the start of his attack. Nothing happened in his childhood to form aggression towards people. He was born with a vicious psyche.
I gave this dog to a person who was ready to devote time to an aggressive dog. By the way, he cost about 2500 euros about 10 years ago. Naturally, his «breeder» did not return a penny to me. And traces of his bites remained on my body and on the body of my husband to this day.
Why did I tell this story? Because I am a dog handler, I am a zoopsychologist. And I really know what it is like to live with an aggressive dog. If something provokes aggression in a dog, you can work with it. It can be removed. But if a puppy is born to parents with an unstable psyche, then the chances of influencing an unstable psyche are lower than when training with a stable dog. It’s like trying to explain arithmetic to a mentally ill maniac. He doesn’t need it and doesn’t understand it. It’s the same here.
Over the many years of my consultations, I have helped many families find happiness and harmony in life with their aggressive dog. I taught them to understand the dog’s body language, to understand the dog’s desires. To understand the dog’s warnings. To train the dog so that it can relax and control itself.
Therefore, I can really help your family. Let’s make an aggressive dog sane and stable together. To sign up for a consultation with a zoopsychologist, write:

Consultation price: 50 euros for 30 minutes. I conduct zoopsychologist consultations «aggressive dog and how to cure it» via online video communication. I communicate in English, Russian, Ukrainian. If you do not know these languages, then I will give a written conclusion about the consultation (what to do, in what order, what to pay attention to, how long) to your email. Through a translator.
In my experience, the sooner we begin to understand and change the worldview of an aggressive dog, the easier it will be for you to live. Do not postpone training and understanding the zoopsychology of your dog. Write.
Sincerely, your zoopsychologist Veronika Voitovska
