We got him when he was 5 months old. There wasn't much discussion on how he was raised, so there's a possibility that there was aggressive treatment before we got him. We've tried an array of things to discipline him, shaking a can full of coins being one. We try not to let him get away with his aggression, so when he snaps I show dominance. He's become more tame to me, however I think he's identified my sister as lower in the pack, because when he gets aggressive she tends to get scared and scurry away.. so in a sense I think he knows he can take advantage of that? I don't know lol, he's a smart dog... But I think victim to an angry upbringing, and has held onto that.
Also, on a side note, he eats his own poop.. what's the deal with that? When you try to clean it up, he'll race over to it and try and eat it before you get to it, and if you try to take it away from him he snaps. haha |
