Well it seems like my super sweet dog is turning into something of a handful. With me he seems to listen and doesn't really show any Agression. However with toys he gets super nasty and will attack anyone that comes into the area where he is with that toy. So for now I have removed all toys.
Now it seems he is claiming the floor area under in front of where I sit on the couch. Last night my roommate came downstairs and went to pet him and he jumped up and charged him. He was biting him but didn't break the skin but he sounded like he meant business.
I shouted NO! Really loud and had my roommate stand still and not look directly at him in an attempt to have him stand his ground with him
My biggest question here is, is there some form of punishment or what should I be doing in events like this? I've never encountered such a stubborn ornery dog in all my life but I love him.
I want this to work but I need to know how to stop him from going after people.
What works to stop them in the act and eliminating that behavior altogether. I don't want to have to give him up.
