Aggression can be random in that we don't have the means/technology to identify the catalyst or catalysts all the time. Much the same as epileptic seizures. We know it's a seizure but we can't predict when and don't know why. However the source of most aggression is easily traced but to someone with little or no experience the aggression would appear to be random and most clients I have met would confess to believing that to be the case before they were shown that the aggression was predictable rather then random. Either way, that doesn't mean it can be "rectified". There are several variable influencing that.
When people are looking to have a problem "rectified" I have to ask what does that mean? For you it might mean that the animal be preserved no matter the cost, for another it might be based on the assumption that all problems are resolvable, for another it might be a risk assessment to identify one of the 4 options I identified, for another it might be follow through on one of the 4.

John, when presented with dogs with an aggression issue for which the cause has not been identified and which don`t respond to behavioural therapy, which health tests do you insist need to be done before proceeding or better still which health tests, [ in detail ], do you advise be done before getting to work with them in the first place ?
TIA
Edited to add, I notice the collar you sell is much like the Illusion collar which works on the principal of restricting air supply due to the positioning under the jaw and the intensely painful spots behind the ears - the same positioning you describe for your collar, the Illusion collar gains control through pain, please can you explain how [ and if ] yours differs please ?
