Low protein diets play a role in the treatment of several conditions, such as kidney disease, advanced liver disease, and some
forms of dominance aggression.
When compared to 20 cases
of dominance aggression treated with conventional behavioral or other habit modification over the same time period, only 11 dogs improved > 25 % and of the remaining 9 cases, 3 failed to improve and 3 were euthanized or placed in another home.
One of the unique features of springers with this form
of dominance aggression is the lack of warning before the aggression.
