| You're not in a boxing ring with your dog where two equals box it out to see who comes out on top, so I don't get your aggression with aggression comment. If you are not the boss, you are headed for one heck of a mess. If you are the boss, put your foot down and TELL HIM SO! He needs to have respect for you AND those you invite into your home. He needs to understand that HE does NOT call the shots, YOU do! If my dog did anything like that there's no chance in hades that I would fiddle around trying to appease her. She would most certainly get a leash correction that she wouldn't forget and she would be wearing her leash 24/7 to boot until she had proved to me that she understood.
It almost sounds like you are afraid of him. If you are, and I could understand that since he is new to your family, get some hands on training help pronto. :) |
