Hello - I need help with my 6 yr. old boxer I just rescued. I don't know much about his history except that his previous owners had him locked in a basement for a year. The humane society told me he acts aggressively w/ some dogs and that I'd have to introduce them and see if they got along.
He quickly made himself and home and developed a good trusting relationship w/ the family and I. He seemed to get very nervous when people came over (barking and charging at the door when people pulled up in the driveway). Once you were inside he was ok. When more than 6 people are over he lays beside me and burries his head behind my back and seems very nervous.
About 2 mos. after we rescued a female boxer pup and bought another male boxer pup. He LOVES them. But since he's bitten 2 people. He's much more protective (not sure if it's because of the pups or not). both people were strangers within the first 5 min. they were there.
I'm scared that he'll bite someone badly and we'll have a law suit, or worse have to put him down. I'm working w/ him on the Alpha training and other basic training and it's going well. He's the best dog you could ever ask for when it's just the family around, he's an entire different dog when people he doens't know come around.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated! thank you!
