My 3 year old PB/Shepherd cross attacked my father's dog and also snips at friends. Is it too late to correct this behavior?
Full Question:
My husband and I have a 3 year old pitbull-sheppard mix. He is our baby. We adopted him about a year & a half ago. When we first got him, he was not all that aggressive, but now he is getting worse and over protective of me. We have researched both breeds and they say that protective/aggressive behavior is normal for these breeds. He is fine with dogs that are smaller than him, but not with dogs his size: he attacked my brothers dog in my fathers house. He also has snipped at friends that don't understand that they need to leave my dog alone and not keep trying to pet him. Anyway, my question is: is it too late to try and correct this behavior?

Ed's Answer:
It is never too late for good training. If you don’t step to the line and fix this problem now you are going to lose this dog after one of these attacks because the attacks will get worse and more intense.
Get the 3 ½ hour DVD titled DEALING WITH DOMINANT AND AGGRESSIVE DOGS Also get a dominant dog collar and study the DVD on exactly how to use it.
I do not know the level of obedience training this dog has. If it's good then that’s fine – if it's not too good you will also need my 4 hr Basic Dog Obedience DVD.
Then also get kicking bag and practice kicking the snot out of it. This is to prepare you to kick your friends in the butt when they don’t listen to you about not petting the dog. I guarantee you that these same people will sue you if they are badly bitten.
