My animal has some aggressive behavior that I'd like to curb. How should I handle this in order to make sure my animal is safe and obedient?

First, recognize the source of your animal's aggression. Is it due to fear or discomfort? Do they feel threatened or overwhelmed by their surroundings? Next, begin introducing cues that let your animal know what is expected of them. If possible, enroll in a training class that can help you address the problem and get quick results. Finally, give yourself plenty of time - often positive changes take patience and consistency as you work together towards appropriate behaviors.

The best way to handle aggression in animals is to identify the cause. The most common causes include fear, anxiety, pain or lack of proper training. Regardless of the cause, you should start by gently restraining your animal and staying calm. If possible, try to distract your pet by offering them a treat or playing a game with them. Physically removing your animal from the area can also help decrease anxiety and defuse the situation as long as you take appropriate precautions for safety's sake—never make sudden movements or use any objects like pillows or towels to cover their eyes or nose without carefully considering the reaction it may provoke. 

If you find that these methods are not helping enough, seek help from a trained professional such as an animal behaviorist who can advise on proper treatment depending on the type of aggression exhibited by your pet and its underlying causes.”
