    Aggressive dogs may exhibit several behaviors, including freezing, barking, head butting, snarling, and wagging their tail. Freezing is a common response in aggressive dogs, as they may momentarily stop moving or become still before attacking. Barking is another way aggressive dogs communicate their aggression and intimidate others. Head butting is a physical behavior where the dog forcefully bumps its head into something or someone, often as a display of dominance or aggression. Snarling is a vocalization that aggressive dogs make to warn others and show their aggression. Surprisingly, aggressive dogs may also wag their tail, but this wagging is usually stiff and accompanied by other aggressive behaviors, indicating a potential threat.

    A. If the dog is likely to fight over a toy, do not use toys unless they are on their own

    Explanation
    To prevent dog fights, a dog walker should praise good behavior and ignore bad behavior. This helps reinforce positive behavior and discourage negative behavior. It is also important to feed dogs in separate areas to avoid competition and potential fights over food. Some dog walkers may choose to carry a water pistol as a form of protection, which can be used to distract or deter dogs from fighting. Tug-of-war games should be avoided as they can escalate into fights. If a dog is likely to fight over a toy, it is best not to use toys unless the dog is alone. Lastly, staying alert and keeping the dog under control can help avoid conflicts and potential fights.
