| Dog is starting to BITE
As hes getting older im running into new problems, and im not sure what to do. Little background hes a 7 month old pure rotty bought from a good breeder. I feed him canadie asl 2 times a day. Every morning I feed and walk him for 30-40 mins. Then on my lunch break I come home and take him out again for 15 mins. When I come home after work I spend atleast 2 hr with him playing and going thru some training. I no longer crate him he has his own room in the basement and no longer kept in the garage when im not home.
So this weekend i was on my way to the dog park he was in the back seat and I had one of my friends in the passenger seat. My dog comes and sits on my friends lap and all of a sudden starts growling and tried to snap at his face. At the park he plays with everydog does not show any sign of aggression he runs up to people so they can pet him. later that day when I got home I was trying to take his leash off and he barked and bit my sleeve, I quickly pulled my hand away so he didnt get any skin. Before I feed him i make him sit for atleast 2 mins, but last night i made him sit for close to ten mins and i can see him getting mad but stayed in lay down position.
I was gonig to take him to obedience training this spring but i dont think it can wait, how is the 8 week class at petco or petsmart is it worth it or should I find another place. also untill I can take him there what do u guys suggest to correct this behavior. sorry for the long post and spelling/grammer error im at work rushing.
