Hey Chris, let me try and clarify what I was posting. My concern isnt with corrections or dealing with aggression immediatly, etc..
Its telling your wife to kick his ass. Some people just don't have it in them to win these battles and gain that dogs respect by being physical. That same dog that melts like butter when you look stearnly at him may just decide he doesnt have to take it from her. As I read your two main posts on this thread, it sounds like he doesnt respect her, and this is something that may have been going on for a while.This particular incident was just an obvious sign. I wouldnt feel comfortable giving you advice to have her whoop him.

Connie it doesn't matter if who the primary handler is in the household. any dog that lives in the house should be at the oof the pack. the dog is a guest a dog to snap at any family is unacceptable no matter what the reason.
You are not following me.
I am saying that the primary handler instructing someone else to "REALLY hurt the dog next time" is setting up that someone else for a dangerous situation.
I think Chris understood what I was saying, which referred to what Steve had said way back on page 1.
John, FYI the "slap" she gave him was just a whack on top of the head. Nothing strong enough to move his head around even. So on one hand not "beating" the dog, but on the other hand (in hindsight) probably not enough to even be effective, and therefore it may not have served any purpose. I think her screaming "NO!" probably had a stronger effect than the whack on the head.
Right now he's tethered to her in the other room while she does some schoolwork. Prong collar and 6-foot leash. He's just standing there, I think waiting as though she's going to take him somewhere. He'll figure out sooner or later than he's just stuck there until she decides to move.
