A dog may become aggressive at any time. Dogs that are territorial frequently turn hostile toward other dogs, as aggression between dogs is extremely common.

Some dogs become aggressive due to socialization problems and jealousy issues. Most animals are territorial, and they may attack if they believe that a dog or person is invading their territory.

Although there are many different reasons why a dog might bite another dog, most bites occur because the biter feels threatened. In this instance, the bite is a defensive action intended to widen the gap and reduce the threat that the other dog poses.

Bites nearly always come as a last resort and usually only happen after earlier communication signs have been ignored. Most dogs will make an effort to express their desire for distance before biting.

A dog will often begin by giving subtle indications, such as moving its body away and avoiding eye contact. If these messages are disregarded, it will advance to more severe warnings, like barks, growls, hard stares, and snarls.

Since hostility carries a significant danger of harm, the majority of dogs will make an effort to avoid a bite or a full-on fight. An aggressive dog may act out more frequently under certain conditions.

A Quora user thought it wise to ask people what to do after the neighbor's dog attacked and bit their dog.

Dog parents frequently worry that their pets will get into a fight with another dog and suffer a dog bite injury. Some dogs will be friendly toward other dogs they know, but they may turn hostile toward other dogs they don't know.

Even though you try your hardest to prevent your best friend from ever getting into an incident with another dog, it's still best to be ready for anything.
