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

You can get him past this, ppl train their dogs through this all the time, but don't breed him. Fix him and keep him as a pet

Hi,

If you have friends with dogs, I would suggest spending time with them and there dog. The more time your dog spends around other dogs the better. It will just become routine to see other dogs. You should be right there when you first start this training. The more time he spends around other dogs the less agressive he should be towards them. They will have "testing" each other out to see who is "top or alpha" dog. Expect it to be heated but correct overly aggressive behavior, letting him know that his actions are not ok. In time he will come around. Good Luck

Neutering a dog does not solve behavioral issues. You are in need of a trainer that has experience with aggression problems. Start with a local, reputable trainer and follow his/her advice even if it means boarding school.

You've missed the opportunity to socialize your dog to other dogs, that can only happen when they are puppies. You now must rely on repetition to achieve any kind of social behavior towards other animals. You must also learn to apply the appropriate corrections to keep your dog in tow and prevent a more serious accident from occurring.

Well, considering that apparently you did not socailize him well with other dogs when he was little, Its to late to totally fix that problem now.But male dogs are known to be arrgressive (Somtimes VERY arrgresive like your dog) with same sex dogs. The only way to fix that a little is to get him fixed or just not take him anywhere.

So you want a litter of dog-aggressive puppies? Please remember that what exists in the parents is most often passed to the pups. This is NOT ideal temperament for a golden. Your dog should not be bred. (And that's not even taking into consideration the rest of your dog as far as registry, conformation, titles, pedigree, etc.) Temperament is what you have to live with. Sound temperament should be at the very top of any breeder's list of necessary characteristics in ANY breed.
