Ok peeps I need some overall doggie advise. No I definately don't have all the answers and I'm about ready to give up on this Boxer. I'm at my whits end.
He is a rescue we have had for about 2-3 years now. Over the past year he has attacked 3 little white dogs. One at the dog park, one in the neighborhood and one at a restaurant! No blood thank God but tramatic, violent and unprovoked! He bites them on the butt, picks them up and thrashes his head side to side like a great white shark! It's so violent and scary! We have stopped allowing him outside the front of the house, no dog parks, and no outings at all. Now add in he is food agressive and went after Ollie the other day. He thinks he is alpha no matter how hard I try and training I do with him, he still growls at me and the kids when we try to move him from his bed. The only person he won't growl at is my husband. The most recent problem he's destroying my doors! We are putting all the dogs outside the house during the day in our new big covered patio and yard. Plenty of water and shade but this dog wants in the house and is digging at my doors. He has ruined 2 of them already. We have resorted to crating him during the day so we don't have more property damage. I'm worried about this dog. He's agressive, destructive and just a huge problem and my husband won't consider giving him back to the rescue he got him from. The only way is if he attacks or bites one of us, which I fear is not far off.
I have told the husband that he's going to have to crate him from now on. I'm tired of fighting with him to get him in the crate. He's gonna bite me.
HELP?
