hello, is ur problem solved? your dog has dominance trait and not to be mistaken with aggressiveness. i think you may have pampered him a bit too much too. a dog will get jealous if no proper socialization is involved. get everyone in the house to hold the dog. sometimes the dog will get close to one person and will try to protect this person from another person. this is bad if he is protecting you from your family. you say ur dog know the command "sit", get him to sit for everything that way he can't jump on you and sit at the same time. commands are taught to be used everyday and not only during training. don't worry about him playing with his mom, the dog will know when it's time to stop. also your dog have a lot of energy, have you channel this energy to long walks and plays so he can tone down on his energy? his dominance can also be because he dont know what is his part in the pack (your family + his mom). some ways to re-establish you are boss are , try to eat before him, you can eat anything, keropok, apple or anything as long as he see you eat before him and then feed his mother first or feed them together. repeat this for weeks and forever if u can. 2nd, always give him a command for everything he wants. if he wants to jump on u, ask him to sit, if he sill jump, then turn your back away and ignore him. dogs hate to be ignored. same if he barks at you, walk away from him, return to the room when he stop barking and praise him. always train him with a leash and he must respect the leash ie no biting the leash and a deep command "no" and maybe show your angry face and a fist may help. but in any case NEVER HIT YOUR DOG. it will promote aggressiveness. no dogs are old to train. MKA & puppycom has trainings in Jalan Gasing & Taman Desa so maybe you can check it out. if you are worried about him destroying your car, buy a dog safety belt and you can find at pet's wonderland for RM64. it looks like a harness and it will be attached to your car's safety belt. also you can make him sit in a box so he won't spoil your cushion cover. i have a golden retriever and she fits just fine in my Wira. and i know a rottie can also fit in a wira.
