From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rage Syndrome, also known as Sudden Onset Aggression or (SOA) or Avalanche of Rage Syndrome, is a serious but rare behavioural problem that has been reported most commonly in the English Cocker Spaniel but also in a variety of other dog breeds.
It is often misdiagnosed as it can be confused with other forms of aggression. It is thought to be genetic in origin and is inheritable. A variety of treatments are available, but will need to be tailored to the individual needs of the specific dog.
The term rage syndrome is attributed to Dr. Roger A. Mugford,[1] an English animal behaviour consultant.
The rage syndrome has no connection to rabies, for which its name is often mistaken (as the Latin translation stands for "rage"[example needed]).
