Thanks for your response I cant walk the dog in a public place because he is unpredictable he may try and attack one person and be fine with the next. I have just had our second child so really don't have the time to "get the dog right" I wish i did but even then it is still not deffinate he will be a changed dog.

I am located in Melbourne and no when I was attending the obedience shool with the dog he has first thought to have fear aggression then it was dominant based aggression. So at the end of the day i did not get a diagnosis and the trainers gave up on him, hence why we stopped attending.

My 7 year old border collie bonnie is agressive towrds everyone but me and my husband and until today my 3 year old daughter. If I take him for a walk and anyone comes to close he will lunge at them teeth showing and try to attack them. He has already bitten several friends and relatives of ours and today nipped my 3 year old daughter. I have taken him to obedience school but that just made things worse as he would be trying to attack the trainers and the other dogs. I have even tried an injection from the vet that was a hormonal injection to try and calm him down. My vet has suggested if the injection didn't work my next step would be to consider putting him to sleep as I have a responsibility as a pet owner. As you know your dogs become part of the family and I would not give up on one of my children so easily so why should i give up on my dog. Although now Bonnie has crossed the line when he nipped my daughter. Can he ever be trusted again? Thanks am hoping someone can give some advice before tomorrow evening Yvonne
