I got my lab/collie x back in april around easter. He is about 7-8 months old. While he was more of a puppy, he was manageable, and listened to our commands. Over the past 2 months how ever, he has become too aggresive to even take for walks. He pulls constantly on the leash, fights with oter dogs, and growls at passers-by. One night after a steak dinner, we gave him a bone. But, after giving it to him, and going even within 3 feet of him, he would growl and snap at me. We stopped giving him bones, but would sometimes give him some scraps, making sure to stay away from him. He is notorious for licking the plates in the dishwahser while we are loading it, but we always try to push him away before he can get his hands on anything. He is a persistent dog, not always listening to our commands. Most times, after telling him to do something more than 10 times, we start to yell out of frustration. This is a problem I know, but sometimes it just comes out. Tonight, I was loading the dishwasher, and of course, the dog came over and started licking the dishes. My 7 year old brother who is a bit smaller than average, came over to the kitchen and standing up, the dog jumped and, now my brother is waiting for stitches in emergency. The dog always seems to be more aggressive around my brother, but my brother is not an instigator. My parents are very pissed off, and ready to take the dog to the pound if we can't get this straightened out. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY DOG INLINE (he had been to obedience school a couple months ago) PLEASE HELP ME!!!
