Mandy Barker Webboard User Reg: 11-28-2009 Posts: 1 Loc: France Offline	I have 3 rescue boxers and 1 staffy cross. 1 of my boxers has become dominant aggressive towards me. He will bite quite aggressively to get his own way. He chooses his battleground well - in doorways, small spaces etc.. places he feels he can control. He will bite indiscriminantly or if he wants something he is denied. I am trying to use operant training methods however it can be difficult when this large dog attacks out of the blue. All advice gratefully received. Thankfully my staffy cross is very protective and has intervened a couple of times already to protect me. Not ideal, I know, but a godsend at the time. Am new to the forum at the moment so I hope I've posted in the right place. Thanks Mandy

You need to get on-the-scene help immediately. Today. Please don't take the expert advice you have been given lightly.
