His agression issues are due to the fact that he does not respect you as the pack leader. Which probably also explains is marking in the house.
Obiously he has never been properly trained and he thinks he is the boss. You need a little dog whisperer.
Neutering might help but it is not going to resolve these issues. The onldy way to do that is to learn how to make yourself the pack leader.
He is not delibertely misbehaving, he just has not been properly trained. Dogs do not do things to get even, they act out of instinct. A submissive dog will never instinctively bite his leader, because he knows better. And a leader would never allow biting.
He should have been taught his place in the pack from the very first day, if he had, he would be a well behaved dog and you would not be finding it necessary to replace him
If you don't correct this "fault" in yourself, you will have behvior issues with any dog that you have.
I suggest you get the Dog Whisperers DVD before you do anything else.
Also you say you are allowed to have three dogs, but your husband wants one of his own. Who do the other two dogs belong to? |
