Predatory aggression is generally triggered by hunger. The dog pounces on his prey with his feet together, his tail and ears erect, his hackles raised and drops his two front legs on the prey. Then, he locks his jaws around him and shakes him vigorously, causing a fractured rachis. Predatory aggression is also observed in dogs that are not hungry. Such is the case of the dog that steals into the hen house and eats all the chickens, or the dog that kills cattle. These are psychological behaviors and there is no effective way to inhibit this type of aggression. From time to time, cases of predatory aggression against humans are reported. These predatory acts are committed by stray dogs organized in packs. Humans are considered to be prey because these dogs have not been socialized toward people. Sometimes companion dogs may display this type of predatory aggression toward toddlers who are not yet walking. The dogs in these cases have not had contact with children of this age.
