Let me preface this with... I wonder if this is a joke post? That being said, I'll take it at face value.

Sounds like you are not in control and he knows it. He's attempting to be aplha because well... you arent? Dogs need to know who's in charge in their pack and when they know, they are much more content.

For his wellbeing -- and yours -- and his safety and other people's -- he shouldn't be allowed to run after children, or to people's doors, or out in the street to chase cars. You have the ability to control this. Really you do!

Once you take back control of him, he will feel safer and stop acting out the way he has been.

How you do it is up to you, but there are many options, from kenneling to leash training, to hiring a trainer to help you, to going to obedience classes. Heck - read the advice threads here, buy a few books, or even watch Ceaser on Nat Geo TV.

The key is in your hands - not his paws. Take it and open the door to a great relationship with a dog that feels safe and is obedient. It's an enjoyable thing - and well worth the effort. And it will save his life.
