Dogs attack people for 6 different reasons. 1: They are protecting territory, 2: They are protecting owners, 3: They are protecting young, 4: They are scared of people, 5: They are very sick, ( rabies, foaming at the mouth,) or 6: They have been mistreated.

Sometimes dogs that are mating don't like it when other dogs are around or the dog is not used to other dogs. A dog may defend its territory if another dog comes near its home. It might be to drive the other dog away from its food. It may feel threatened in some way.

They dont exactly attack smaller dogs they just can get jelious. if their is someone petting a small dog, the bigger dog can get mad that their not getting the attention so they go after the dog that is getting the most attention

Some dogs attack humans because they feel protective in their own home. They feel as if some people are a threat and that they need to protect their family from harm.

Generally it is because smaller dogs can feel more intimidated so therefore they bark more to establish a pecking order and to let you know that they are there!

Why do dogs attack babies?

Generally such an attack is caused by jealousy. If the baby is a new addition to the household and takes up a lot of the parent's time and attention which had previously been given to the family pet they will understandably resent the interloper. Try to show the dog it is still loved and important to you and introduce it to the baby while demonstrating affection to each to link them both with you. The dog should twig that he is not excluded and accept the new addition.
