Rescued dog does not get along with my dogs
My son rescued a beautiful Bouvier des Flanders neutered male 3 years old.
The dog is extremely aggressive towards other dogs. When my son brings him to our house, he wants to attack our dog(s). I have a fair amount of training experience, but am at a loss here. My son has a roommate that has a dog as well. Initially, he had to keep the dog downstairs, separated from his roommates dog. The roommate let the dogs out together when my son was not home. Luckily, they did not wind up drawing any blood. My sons dog immediately established himself as Alpha. I can not take the chance that his dog wont bite my dog. When we try to introduce them on neutral ground, while on lead, his dog is scary!! Growling and snapping and lunging when they even get close! Any ideas? I really need to resolve this as my son takes his dog everywhere and we don't get to see him as much. Thanks in advance for any and all ideas/opinions. Please reply to my email as well at . Thanks! Papa |

I would simply talk to him and ask that he leave the dog at home before
there are any serious injuries to the dogs. I to have a dog who is very aggressive towards other dogs. There are only 3 other dogs that he has ever gotten along with. One of them is my other dog and the other two are my sisters chi hua huas. For some reason he doesn't see them as a threat. I have come to realize that this behavior in Barney is never going to change. He's been like this ever since he was attacked by another dog as a pup. He reached that 18 month old maturity and his personality did a 360 from a wimp to a dog who will try and attack any other dog he sees. He has the attitude I'm going to get him before he ever has the chance to come at me. Celeste "papa Glock" wrote in message ...
