Unpredictable Aggression In Dogs - Rage Syndrome - A Neurological Disorder

Posted by naharazizi on Monday, October 24, 2011



Without a doubt the most dangerous professional dog trainer can meet the dog to "Rage Syndrome". Let me first warn the reader not to jump to the conclusion that your dog has a "Rage Syndrome", if he shows a simple and predictable domination or pain related to aggression. This in no way means that the dog has "Rage Syndrome". This condition is in fact very rare and seldom seen. In 28 years of training approximately 700-1000 dogs per year I have just witnessed a true "Rage Syndrome" about a dozen times. Using these kinds of numbers you can see how truly rare this disorder is. Having stated this fact, this disorder in its "nature, the most dangerous
all matters relating to coaches or owners may face the dog.

One case in point is 200 pounds of Newfoundland, which was brought to us for training ten years ago.

"Samson" was purchased as a cute and cuddly puppy by a member of the crew that specializes in taking from church groups and college kids for a weekend cruise to the local luci.Pasmine were chosen for their reputation as an excellent water rescue dogs. Everything was going along as planned for the weekend trips to Samson turned to one year. The owner noticed that on a weekend trip cheerleaders start cheering began a trip to the dog suddenly became very aggressive towards her. Fortunately the dog is muzzled and restrained.

owner wrote the incident off as a misunderstanding on the part of the dog girls
body language and loud voice. He brought the dog to us after this incident, in which the dog
after a similar journey, they had walked down the gang plank with two girls who were petting him and showing him love. He explained that the girls showed the boys when the girls went to leave the dog lunged toward one of the girls' feet with her mouth open and growling. One of the guys see this hit the dog in glavu.Pas then turned around and grabbed the boy by his feet dragging on the ground. The owner explained this away by saying: "If I was a kick in the head it would bite too ."

Samson presented at a consultation with a wagging tail and slobbery kiss for everyone.
He was easygoing and correction of command and sought praise and attention. He was very comfortable in his skin, and showed no signs of shyness or aggression. He was checked in
training and his first ten days went smoothly. Samson willingly learned all his commandments, including down naredbe.Dolje command is usually the one that will be difficult if the dominant factor as the dogs will see this is a challenge and a disadvantage. Samson was more than willing to undergo training, and he enjoyed the praise that came with a job well done.

On the tenth day of Kennel Techs are cleaning kennels and dog move if necessary disinfected. When the Samson's kennel one of the girls entered his kennel with a hasty leash
and looped it to move it to another kennel. He went along happily wagging tail. when the
got a clean start, where he was going to him to flinch. She entered the kennel and turned to him saying: "Come on boys. Lets go" in a tone of high praise. The next thing he knew was on it. He knocked her to the ground and grabbed her legs pulling her back to driving while her potres.Drugi Kennel Tech reported that looked like a grizzly bear attack.

She screamed, as he was shaking. The other girl's presence of mind and courage to enter the kennel and keep the tube was cleaning up the dogs nose to his release.

He was so fixated on their victims when she was released, and ran for the door to escape, he ran right past the girl with a hose and caught her at the door. He grabbed her other leg and pulled because it was held at the door. She was raised in the air tended. Another girl then pushed the hose up your nose again, which gave them the precious seconds to escape.

Kennel Tech was taken to the emergency room where a doctor reported that injuries to the legs, although difficult amazing they were at a point where there would be no permanent damage. This is the worst scenario coach can face. You can usually judge the dog's behavior is in agreement, as well as information supplied by the client. In this case, the client is explained further aggression and the rear sight is likely withheld other information.

Unfortunately, withholding information to all common when the client consults with the coach. The usual excuse for this is that they do not want to prejudice against coaches psa.Nesretna result can be put staff at risk.

In another case, we have witnessed a woman eleven months old Doberman attack it in front of our eyes. He knocked her to the ground and began to bite down her chest area. When we came
Her rescue, we were repeatedly bitten in the process of saving her. Unfortunately, after the dog is securely placed in the chest (after three of us had been bitten nine times) left saying that her husband should make a final decision on what happened to the dog. Instead of the dog to a neurologist, as we have suggested, it has left him with a group of Doberman Rescue. In this case, easing their conscious by not putting the dog down, Put another unsuspecting people in danger.

This is an example of what not to do.

"Rage Syndrome" is actually an epileptic seizure in the emotional cortex of dogs. Like other forms of epilepsy (motor or behavioral) the dog behaves normally 98% of the time. This is 2%
This is a problem. This can happen in any breed dog. I saw him before in the Labrador Retriever Retriever.Golden, German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Siamese, these Doberman and Newfoundland, and about half a dozen Springer Spaniels. Yes, I said Springer Spaniels. This condition is common enough that the breed is commonly called "Springer Rage". Springers have more than a genetic predisposition to this condition for some reason than other breeds. Again, I stress that this is extremely rare and therefore just because you have a Springer Spaniel must never assume that this condition will automatically be a problem.

Like other forms of epilepsy this condition can be treated with Phenobarbital which has the effect of reducing seizures in mozgu.Očito problem in the case of "Rage Syndrome" is that even one occurrence is one too many, and therefore the dogs diagnosed with this condition are usually lower. Because the stakes are so high it is recommended that at least two opinions sought before diagnosis is napravio.Najbolji expert opinion you can get a neurologist. Your veterinarian can give you their opinions, and referral. In the case of one client with a Springer Spaniel, the owner was honest with us and explained that her veterinarian suggested that the dog is put down. She said that she would be more comfortable if you would be willing to evaluate the dog and give her a second opinion. In this case we took the dog in the reference. It took about a week to see the normally sweet dog fly into a murderous rage without razloga.Pas then get back to normal, with no clear memory of his actions. Unfortunately, we had in line with Veterinary owners that the dog should be euthanized.

This condition is also being studied in humans. Almost every condition that can be found in the brain of a dog can be found in the human being. These tests may one day explain some criminal behavior in humans. Symptoms of this condition are:

* unexplained aggression that comes out of nowhere.

* Aggression that seems unrelated to dominance.

* marked changes in the dogs eyes, snarling and growling, lunging.

* dog seems to leave the behavior as suddenly as it came on.

* dog does not seem to recall the previous aggressive behavior.

* unpredictable during the aggression.

What do you do if you think your dog has "Rage Syndrome"

* Do not try to diagnose yourself. Owners many times wrong about the causes of aggression.

* Do you seek at least two expert opinions (Veterinarians and trainers) At least one veterinarian.

* I give my professional advisors, all the facts you can think of. Do not withhold information!

* Do not put others in danger. If you think your dog has "Rage Syndrome" does not leave it with

children. Remove it from all the situations where he can harm anyone.

* Do not make excuses for behavior that frightens you or others. Being afraid of your dog should be

is the first indication that professional help should be sought for diagnosis and / or treatment.
