You should always get a full workup from a veterinarian as many causes of aggression can be resolved medically. Once you have done this, or while you are doing this, consider bringing in a trainer that deals specifically with aggression in the species of animal you are working with. If you have a cat that has suddenly become aggressive, consider bringing in a feline behaviorist. If it’s a dog that is showing signs of aggression, bring in a legitimate dog trainer that is highly recommended. Working with the wrong type of trainer or a trainer who is not specifically trained to handle aggression can often result in more problems.

Be open and honest about your situation. Avoiding it, or allowing it to become worse, will result in serious issues and can even result in a loss of life. If you have children or other animals in the home, handling an aggression issue should be first and foremost on your agenda. There are many great trainers who can help you avoid a bad situation – don’t be shy about reaching out for help.
