And I completely agree with you!

My point is that the drive is Prey driven - not dog : human aggression driven. Which is something different. Dog : Dog aggression is yet a third difference.

Maybe we need to define each and then state how they either do, or don't have an impact on each other.

There are other threads explaining Prey Drive (so I would suggest a search of the archives so that we don't have to rehash it here).

So define:

Dog : Dog Aggression
Dog : Human Aggression
How are they related or not related?
How they may relate to prey drive?
