What's the best way to deal with dog aggression? Dogs Training Discussions
My dog can get very aggressive to my other two dogs, and I'm not sure on what to do with him. I've tried time out and rousing at him, and have tried showing him the correct behaviour but it doesn't seem to work. He's gets particulary bad when he gets into trouble and the other dogs don't - he will attack one of them straight away. Sometimes he just attacks for no reason and he's been bad for that today. I've resorted to rotating the dogs inside and outside so they all get a chance to go to the toilet and have a run, and when he's near the other dogs I have to constantly walk him around on a lead so he can't attack. Any suggestions, and has anyone else ever dealt with this? He's not aggressive to me, just the other dogs. I also don't believe in hitting my dogs, so please no suggestions of that. Thank youThe aggressive one is a cattle dog (male), then I have a female kelpie, and male fox terrior. Only the fox terrior is desexed at the moment. I do plan on getting the cattle dog desexed in the next month. I had the money but then I had to move so I had to use it for bond instead. I understand desexing him will help a great deal, and will do it earlier if I can find the money, but what can I do for the next month until he is desexed? Will it even stop then?My dogs are my children, and putting him down is just not an option. Same with giving him away. I won't give up on him because of this, I will work with him to solve the problem. When I go out, the dogs are seperated so nothing can happen.
