This little guy is going to get himself into big trouble especially if he is growling at your children- it could easily end in a nip or a bite towards 1 of your kids. Your existing dogs and children should come first and foremost. You may have to set willy free. He may do best as a single dog in a child free home.
Imo- neutering is not going to change his behavior.
Cozy became very protective of her 2nd litter and became aggressive towards people she does not know when they come in my home. She was fine with people she would met on walks- off her territory. I spayed her hoping it would decrease some of her aggression towards people- spaying did nothing to decrease this behavior. We also did training- decreased a little but i would never trust her alone with someone new.
Petco and petsmart training will not work imo with these behavior problems. You need to see a doggie behaviorist. Alpha rolls are not going to work- imo. My guess is he maybe behaving aggressively due to fear.
How much about his previous history do you know? |
not saying you are WRONG BUT....
Nuetering would not hurt & training would not hurt....
