Fear may drive dogs to bite in situations where there is really no threat but they perceive a threat. It is a paralyzing fear.

Common remedies that are broadly applicable for treatment:

Aconitum napellus

Usually, the fear is gripping and may have originated from an emotionally traumatic incident. Their response are usually rapid and violent (not aggressive violent toward others so much as violent in their strength). Aconite is one of the main fear remedies. They seem to be fearful of almost everything and are anxious and restless as a result.         

Arsenicum album

This is for the classic “fraidy cat” who disappears when company arrives. These cats are usually friendly and loving to their family but terrified of anyone they do not know.

Calcare carbonica

Their behavior seems to be manipulative or controlling, because they simply will not budge on some requests. They often simply will not go into a certain room or down a certain street. Fear of change makes a move terrifying; they may develop physical illness following a move. These animals are generally fearful of new situations and people. Their fear is not so evident .             

Passiflora incarnate

This remedy is not applicable for long term administration. This remedy may be used for its calming effect, though it will not likely stop the fear from occurring. Use it in low potency-3X, 6X, 3X, or 6C. Calms and Calms Forte may be used also.

 Stramonium

This remedy state is one of error that often leads to aggression. These animals may bite when they are afraid. Perhaps they hear a noise they do not understand; their fear is aroused and they become aggressive as a defense. They may then bite an innocent bystander due to their heightened state. Bright lights and darkness may also trigger their fear.
