Veterinary behaviorists now understand that a significant portion of "aggression" is heritable. In some breeds (and mixes), fear-based aggression is a polygenic trait. This does not mean the animal is "bad," but it means that behavioral modification has biological limits. Conversely, epigenetics shows that a pregnant mother's stress—whether a stray cat or a working dog—changes the gene expression of her offspring, predisposing them to anxiety. Veterinary science is now using this data to recommend early intervention (neonatal handling, early socialization) within the first 8 weeks of life, a critical sensitive period.
