YorkieMother is right. Also, under no circumstances should you alpha roll him. You will either scare him or make him react further and you could get hurt. When he reacts he probably goes into a 'zone' and you won't be able to get through to him. You need to learn what sets him off and learn how to stop it before it starts.
Aggression/reactivity is often based in fear or pain. You need a good trainer who can figure out WHY he is reacting this way, to what exactly he is reacting to (loud noises, someone with food, etc.) and how to re-condition him. You need to learn how to get him trust you so he can look to you for cues. The trainer will also teach you how to do NILIF which is a GREAT program if you can get everyone in the household to participate in it. You will need to manage the situation in the mean time (and possibly forever). Please seek out a trainer right away.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes. |
