Chirag Patel brings his decades of behavior expertise to unpack the complex topic of aggression in dogs, exploring why labels are less useful than understanding behavioral function and how human-centered perspectives often complicate our work. • Defining aggression as subjective – what falls under this label depends on the observer's learning history and context • Looking beyond topography (what behavior looks like) to examine the function that behavior serves • Understanding emotions as part of contingencies rather than as explanations for behavior • How classical and operant conditioning work together rather than as separate processes • The importance of functional assessment in determining what maintains unwanted behavior • Moving past simplistic "body language" interpretations to analyze behavioral contingencies • How caregiver behavior influences dogs through reinforcement contingencies • Ethical considerations in behavior change strategies for aggression cases • The future of dog behavior work combining behavior science with new technologies CHIRAG'S SITE:<a href='https://www.chiragpatelconsulting.com/'>https://www.chiragpatelconsulting.com/</a> Learn more about options for help for dogs with aggression here: <a href='https://aggressivedog.com'>AggressiveDog.com</a> Learn more about our annual Aggression in Dogs Conference here: <a href='https://aggressivedog.com/conference/'>The Aggression in Dogs Conference</a> Subscribe to the bonus episodes available here: <a href='https://thebiteyendofthedog.supercast.com/subscriber/reactivations/new?plan_id=2923&price_id=6531'>The Bitey End of the Dog Bonus Episodes</a> Check out all of our webinars, courses, and educational content here: <a href='https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com'>Webinars, courses, and more!</a>
