 Suddenly Aggressive Dog Our 3 yr.old mixed breed has suddenly turned aggressive towards us. We have only spanked her rump a hand full of times in 3 yrs. Now, if asked to move, if told to "come back here!', when she slips her collar, if in any way we attempt to discipline her, she "snaps" at us. My husband says, "aww, she's okay...just in a bad mood"..UNTIL she snaps at him. (She has bitten him) What to do? She has actually bitten me, broken skin, when I simply disciplined by voice. To me, it feels like a dominance problem...she thinks she rules US. Any help? Thanks! Judi Kay

That's why I feel it may be a "dominance" problem. She trying to be the "alpha". That explains her problem with me, but what about her problem with the "alpha male"? (My husband...only male around). Thanks! Judi Kay

I had a male dog who stepped out of line every once in a while, it was a pissing match dominance thing, I held his 180lb ### down and bit his ear, a breeder told me this would establish my dominance over him. I had to do it every couple years....kinda ###### up and back woods but it worked. If this dog is in the truck with you or your husband it is likely that she is becoming isolated and over protective.

| i would suggest too establish the alpha role, and when feeding make sure it is the alpha who is suppling the food and do this routinely. as in set feeding time/s. and regular excerise and some basic obiedience training during the walk. i always used a piece/s of cheese. |

| I would recommend you checking out the TV show The Dog Whisperer with Caesar Millan. That guys is awesome with dogs, I envy his God given talent. This is a dominance thing, and its way too involved to try to explain on here. Watch half a dozen episodes and maybe you have a little insight to the whats and whys. |

If you don't fix it...it will get worse. I;m not saying "beat her to a pulp"...but when she snaps or bites, IMMEDIATELY retaliate with some aggression of your own. (love taps and "no sweetie, don't do that" wont work) |

But seriously, what type of aggression therapy will work? (getting face-to-face with her already snapping fangs is NOT an option?) I am always firm enough to make her "cower" temporarily, but she always does it again, and bites when I attempt to discipline. (and most f the time, my discipline is a water squirt gun...which she is afraid of, for some reason) The bottom line is, we've tried nearly EVERYTHING, suggested by vets, friends, official animal people...
