Viewer Question Topic: Aggressive / Dominant Dogs


hi my dobby is acting quite stangely for the past couple of weeks...... he seems to have developed an intense dislike for all humans except me. He always tries to attack anyone who comes into the room where he is. Earlier on he used to just growl but now he just flies at people irrespective of who the person maybe. This is causing quite a problem as when I am not at home (during the day) it is either my folks in the house or it is (Boxer) my dobby who is in the house. Also he doesn't indulge in any of these activities when I am at home..... What do I do?????

P.S. I am writing from India.

Hi Gurtej,
1) He needs training; has he had any? 2) You need to find the cause of this: Has he not been socialized properly? Does he get aggressive outside? Is someone harassing/abusing him? Is he scared or protective? Was he good with people before? How old is he? Is there any history that would explain the behavior? Working with a good trainer can help you find the problem.
