I took him to obedience training at Petsmart and he didn't learn a thing. He is aggressive with me also. He becomes histerical - won't listen, won't look, won't pay attention to anything when he gets 'possessed' like that. It has gotten to the point where we can't have anyone visit us and we can't go anywhere with him. I have already made an appointment to take him to the vet today. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like you should be following the same advice given on this thread. Pookyprofessor's advice in post #6 seems right on. A, see a vet, which you're doing; then B, start taking control as she suggests.

I successfully stopped my 3-year-old from beating up my 11-year-old by increasing his level of exercise and then leashing him and supervising all play with toys. After a month or so, I was able to remove the leash. But my issue sounds a little different than yours. Good luck, and please post back if you solve the problem.
