Question

We have a 11 mth old lab have had him since he was 8wks.

He doesnt seem to like a lot of people especially some kids. He is great with my kids who are 11 and 8 but different people that come over he is hesitent and even sometimes tries to bite.

We do have another male dog who is fixed. The lab is not fixed.

What could be causing him to be so mean?

How do i get it under control?

We thought about getting him fixed but I dont even know if that will help. I don't want him to bite anyone.

Answer

Hi Carrie, this socialisation problem with other people is quite common with dogs and it will just take some training to help sort it out.

The Secrets to Dog Training ebook is the most popular one available online for its' 4th year running. The reson I mention this ebook is because it also offers a free 6-day course which is sent directly to your email address.

You will find it with that link I have provided above and one of the things it mentions covering is dog aggression towards strangers and other dogs.

It is a book I used with a few problems I experienced with tasha, namely separation anxiety, chewing everything in her sight and walking on a leash.

I hope the free 6-day course helps you with your lab. Please keep us posted on his progress.
