Aw, sorry about your rescue pup's aggression! My feisty rescue cat responded well to positive reinforcement training (treats & praise for good behavior) and identifying triggers and avoided things that set him off at first. A certified trainer can create a personalized plan too.

Hey! Dealing with aggression in rescue pets can be tough, but patience is key! Start by creating a safe space for your furry friend to retreat to when they're feeling overwhelmed. Positive reinforcement training can also work wonders, rewarding good behavior and gently correcting aggression. And don't hesitate to seek help from a professional trainer or behaviorist if needed. Hang in there!
