The answer is conflict – related aggression. Conflict-related aggression was beforehand denoted to as dominance aggression by many behaviorists. “Dominance aggression” was defined as aggression focused towards household members in circumstances where the social position of the dominant dog is threatened. Many conflicts happen when a dog is put into a confrontational condition or when the dog cannot forecast what is going to happen due to discrepancies in dog-owner interactions. The dog is placed into a motivational conflict in these situations. He may want to be close to the owner but also be uncertain and anxious because he cannot predict what is going to happen or what the owner is going to do.
