George my Doggie Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Thank you poodle fan. I actually didn't really want to reprimand him because I was afraid he would redirect his aggression at me. I will try all those things you suggested He still shows all the warnings, but the other dog is bigger than him, so it doesn't usually take much notice. The other dog was also taken from the litter at six weeks, and I think that might have something to do with it as well. I know three dogs taken away from the litter at that age that have trouble understanding body language, getting off topic a bit here... Anyhow, thank you all for giving me advice and your views on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 George, its great the he's showing the 'warning' signals. If the other dog is ignoring them, then that's the time for you to step in and defuse the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George my Doggie Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Will do. My puppy class instructor lent me a big huge book about agression in dogs, so that should help too. I think the only problem would be the muzzle...He doesn't like to have things on his face, but I guess I'll just have to get him used to that. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
