Trust me! My boxer is a biter, he's a lover..but weve had more than one incident where someone was petting him and he's find then all of a sudden he snaps (hasnt bitten yet). Weve taken him to school for this, and I think my parents are going to be taking him to a dog psychologist. Anyways, tug of war, laser pointers (he loves chasing them!), those are both games that encourage aggressive behavior. Theres other factors too, such as if they chase after cars or anything w/ wheels. Good luck! I really hope you can break him of that habit, and it's just a puppy thing.
We amost had to put our boxer down because of this, and its really heartbreaking cuz he's a good dog to our family, just not other people. Keep us updated!
