What is Rage Syndrome?
Rage Syndrome is a very rare behavioral problem that has been reported in a variety of breeds, but especially in Springers, hence the common name – Springer Rage Syndrome. It is where the dog suddenly attacks or shows uncharacteristic bouts of aggression that are totally out of character, it is thought to be caused by some form of epilepsy but this theory is yet to be 100% proven. When I say it is very rare, I mean it. Many people think that any show of aggression from their dog is down to Rage Syndrome, but more often than not instances of aggression in the springer is merely down to dominant behavior and the Pack Psychology not being enforced within the home, and poor levels of training and discipline being enforced.
