With sibling aggression, they lash out at other animals within the home, and
food aggression occurs when a dog begins guarding resources, such as food and water.
The problem is that this breed can be difficult to «read» — often he does not «posture» (display obvious signs of
aggression)-- instead, an Akita may co-exist peacefully with another dog until suddenly, apparently out of the blue, a minor disagreement
occurs, or perhaps the other dog pushes the Akita too far or approaches the Akita's
food bowl or favorite toy, and then the Akita may attack with ferocity.
