How do you know if the aggression is a problem? How do you know if he really would bite someone?
Gus is friendly when meeting new dogs. He grew up with a 70 lb. German Shorthair Pointer - so size has never intimidated him. Sometimes other dogs seem unsure at first when meeting Gus - but he immediately wants to be friends.
It seems like sometime I read that if a dog thinks HE is the leader of the pack - he will feel responsible for the protection of the pack. do you think this is the case here? (I have tried very hard to be the pack leader -- training, making sure that he watches me more than I watch him, making him sit for food, etc.) |
