What behavior specifically are you trying to change? Is he aggressive towards strange dogs? Too rough when he plays with friend doggies? Can you give us more info? |
I'm not sure how to explain it. But he met this dog and wasn't a problem. Then later that dog was sniffing around and perhaps my dog was resting or something and he lashed out at him barking and attacking. I've never seen him do such a thing before to this extent.
