I have a very agressive 16 month old dog. We've all noticed before that whenever I was at home, there is not another person he would choose to obey other than me. He even gets angry when my nephews and nieces get near me. On the other hand whenever I get to work (I only get home on weekends) my mom becomes his boss. He tends to protect her the way he does when I am present.
However, lately, just two weeks ago. He has just bitten almost everybody in the household, including my mom. He did that when 1. They were trying to put him on the leash. 2. one of them tried to pick up something near where he was. 3. a niece walked past him. I have joined sit stay fetch very recently, and I can't apply everything to him at once, and since I get home only on weekends, I can only train him during those times. Nobody has the guts to do that, except me. I dont really know what to do, i'm afraid for my family's sake. I will get him neutered next week, would that really help? I want to hire a professional trainer but I'm reluctant since he gets agitated w/ every stranger he sees. Please.. I need replies very soon guys... And please recommend something that might give an immidiate solution to his biting coz training would sure take time.
Thanks very much.
