Approximately 40% of dominance aggression in dogs and dog bites is associated with the lack of authority of its owner. Although the breed of the dog, sex of the dog, size of the dog and age of the dog have some impact on overall aggression, these factors have a minimal effect on whether a dog behaves aggressively as compared to an owner's actions. In fact, dogs that are trained properly are less likely to bite and display aggressive behavior.
