3dumb 219 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Title says it all really, I know there's some decent knowledge on here so looking for advice. The dogs been with me for nearly 6 months and has always been cranky with other dogs, but it's getting stupid. Started with just big or intact dogs, then anything black, now it's almost every fecking hound regardless of gender. Thought it might a lack of work initially but he's been on the lamp averaging twice a week since he got in shape, and it ain't made a difference. I've been doing corrective and positive reinforcement the entire time but ain't getting anywhere. Otherwise, behaviourally and with commands he's spot on. Knows his place in the house and is soft as a barrel of grease with people. He's a working dog before walking, but living on a boat in a marina means even just taking him out for a shite puts dogs infront of us. I've got a muzzle on order yesterday but I'm happy to admit I just ain't got the experience with male dogs to know what the lad needs so I'll take any advice. Tia. Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm guessing this always happens when he's on a leash. Am I right? 2 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,406 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Follow the above advice and stop it dead because if you don't you end up with a fit adult big dog that if worked knows how to handle its self and get even bigger for his boots. Then next thing it starts seeing other dogs on the menu then you basically have a useless dog that is a risk Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 If the dog is that way inclined no amount of hidings will stop it. Either learn to live with it or don't. 9 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,180 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Next time he starts..drop kick the cnut by his bollocks off the jetty and into the water...I should think 3/4 times and he get the message...if not,one behind its ear...can't pass a dog like that on imo...and certainly no fun needing eyes in your arse 1 Quote Link to post
NE_Monkey 159 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Get a pal who has a calm dog to do some corrective training with positive reinforcement, some where private then it's on your terms, some videos online, most likely not a short term fix depending on his level of aggression, as gamerooster said you may have to choose but at least you can say you tried.

Aussie Whip 4,097 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) If it's terrier or bull blooded good luck. Probably extra territorial living in such a small area as a boat. In the dog's mind it's doing it's job. Muzzle him in public and use him as a one out dog when hunting. Edited February 15, 2022 by Aussie Whip 1 Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Few lads on here haven't got a clue, kept bull terriers for years. No amount of beatings would of stopped them from being dog aggressive. If the dog is a good worker, either accept him for what he is or give him to someone who knows how to handle a dog like that. 7 Quote Link to post
