What is wrong with my dog2007-11-25 2:53:17

Keep him under better control. Muzzle him on walks if you have to, but there is no excuse for allowing you animal to attack another pet.

You may need to take him to obedience school! This helped immensley with my dog who was exactly the same way! He was not properly socialized, and aggressiveness was the result.

Alot of dogs just don't like other dogs. Another problem is him not being neutered. He is defending his territory: his home, and his family. You can try trainers to correct him, but it's usually territorial. Just keep control of him. Try a pinch collar, not a choker-chain, they are worse. Pinch collars will teach him not to pull and he will be easier to control.

Your dog is not good with other dogs because he is very dominant and because he was not properly socialized with other dogs when he was a puppy. It has nothing to do with him feeling "offended."

Severe dog aggression (which yours has) and high dominance is rare in goldens and not typical for the breed and frankly for this reason, your dog is not a good candidate for breeding and should be neutered. Neutering should reduce his dominance level and may make him somewhat better with other dogs. Working with a trainer may also help, though he may never be 100% trustworthy with other dogs.

Your not really serious about breeding an aggressive dog are you? This is not a good thing here. Golden's are not supposed to be aggressive in any way shape of form. It seems he was not properly socialized when he was a pup and since he is intact he now see's every dog as a threat to himself and to you. He is being over protective. These are not good traits that need to be passed on to his pups.
