ok, so the overall assumption is that this is dog aggressive, but there are variable demonstrations of aggression. Aggression where the dog wants to kill the object (dog, other animal,…) or if it is fear aggression, then the thyroid has nothing (probably) to do with the 'aggressing' towards the other dog. If the dog has a fear or inability to socialize with other dogs, then the growling, lunging, last resort bite,(if that variable is actually followed through or if the snapping is done and the fearful dog retreats)...all have different methodologies of rehab with the fearful dog making better decisions in the area of his/her tolerance trigger. CAT or BAT is what you want to talk over with a behaviorist or trainer with the knowledge.
Things to do with your dog

I like to be active in the lives of my pets
Duo, my cat, doesn't like to do much but we have our time at night, before bed
she happily cuddles up with me, we share our feelings for each other and curl up to sleepI was looking for things I'd like to do with Bindi, see what we can and can not do
a few years back I saw a show on Animal Planet, K9 Karma and I want to get in shape, make my life healthier I also thought of Lure
I love to run with her and we have a 2 mile trail around a lake near by
I figured we could run there
what does everyone hear do with their dogs/animals?
