My wife and i have had a 4 yo male bulldog (not fixed) that, up until about 3 months ago, was a great dog. All of a sudden he became very aggressive towards me and my wife. He only does it though when we attempt to put him in his kennel. He used to get excited when we would say "ready to go to sleep" because he knew he would be recieving a treat. He would run to the cage, turn around and wait. Now however, he walks slowly to his cage and before he even turns around, he begins growling at us. We don't give him the treat because we don't want to reward this behavior and just shut the door. He then begins barking very viciously and growling at us. We used to then try and pull him out and punish him for this bad behavior until one day he bit my hand. Now we just put him in there and ignore him. Sometimes when my wife comes over to let him out, he will begin growling at her. She then just leaves him in the cage. This is the only time he is ever shows aggression. The only major change is that recently my wife and i began working nights so he is locked up all day, then we come home and he sleeps in our room. Has anybody had this same type of issue? Does anyone have any advice to help with this problem. It doesn't seem to be getting any better and im afraid if it continues, we are going to have to get rid of him. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
