But he is still and will always be a very dominant dog, i think its just the way some dogs are?

I agree Moll, one of my male dogs is very dominant and is fine unless another dog tries it on, the solution is to not put him in situations where a problem may occur. My other male, his son is 3 and struts a bit but after the initial display is fine around other dogs.......

i just put a bit about this on the thread about neutering but my dog did this one week after his first birthday......he is a very dominant dog and up untill this time he always ran away but upon this time he suddenly found his feet and went for any male dog puppy to 4 year old and a 15stone rotweiler!!!....he is a very powerful dog and threw a couple of cockers around for little reason other than they had a drink out of a bowl he once drank from, 2 people got bitten in the frenzy that ensued!

 

i could not put up with it so i had him done soon after, he would tear across a field to have a fight, i agree that it is a puppy being a teenager but not that it is the lack of work unless the dog is unfit and is knackered during a night out. If they don't grow out of it then neutering can help with the obviuous downsides but my decision was made easier as he had a retained testicle and had to be done! Now if he rushes up to a dog and it goes for him he backs off, if they rush up to him and then have a go he kicks f**k out of them.

 

Only problem from working him on reds is that when another dog starts something he locks onto the neck and rags them....his latest defeat was a BIG ridgeback(ha ha showed him) but he always spits them out with disgust when i tell him!!

 

with the terrier i would say thats just him and nothing will help, he just loves the kill, my mate has a patterdale the same
