I know in one of Sue Sternberg's videos, they show several aggressive puppies who are under 3 months old. They were just born like that, it was not due to the owner. Sue Sternberg is a nationally respected behaviorist who specializes in aggression. If a puppy is born with aggression issues, you can't reverse it too easily. Most likely there's a screw loose somewhere and the problems will only worsen as the dog grows.
I agree. There are certainly young, aggressive puppies - just as there are young, aggressive children. Everything is not always the fault of the parent or dog owner. There are dogs born with "a screw loose somewhere" just like there are people born that way. Sad, but true, and in those extreme case, euthanasia is best.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
