<p>Okay, so when we moved here, we were moving into a house with another male dog. He's is not neutered, and usually goes nuts over other dogs. </p>
<p>Well, he has started peeing and pooping in the house, and hubby's parents are NOT happy about it. I keep hearing "He's going to keep doing it as long as another dog is here." </p>
<p>This is not good:/ I mean, I don't imagine that they would ask me to rehome Ziggy, but I want them to not resent him being here either. Plus, I could be wrong.…</p>

<p>This is not good:/ I mean, I don't imagine that they would ask me to rehome Ziggy, but I want them to not resent him being here either. Plus, I could be wrong. Doubt it, but don't want to be stupid and ignore the possibility.</p>
<p>What can I do to make their dog stop? Ziggy absolutely ignores him. Doesn't give him the time of day, will hardly even sniff him when Shadow is pushing himself in Ziggy's face, etc. AND Ziggy stays in our room almost the entire time he's in the house. He just lays on our bed, so it's like they never even see each other almost. </p>
<p>I guess that normally, Shadow is way worse, will walk around constantly marking everything, and it's only happened like twice since we've been here, but it shouldn't be happening at all, and I don't want to let this go on, if there's something I can do.</p>
<p>Shadow is ALWAYS trying to get at Ziggy, constantly pressing his nose onto him, when they do see each other, but again, Ziggy flat out ignores him. He doesn't even growl at him to back off anymore.</p>
<p>I can't get them to neuter him, it's outta the question, so any other ideas?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p> Protective, Territorial or just plain Aggressive???tag:mycorgi.com,2011-11-12:1150197:Topic:13703322011-11-12T22:25:56.245ZCarly & Finnhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/CarlyRodriguez
<p>Hello Corgi lovers,</p>
<p>I am frustrated & hoping for helpful tips/techniques to help with Finn. He is very protective/territorial of his people and friends and has become very aggressive towards newcomers in people form or pretty much anything that is around us on walks or outings. Within our home he is very loving and sweet with no signs of aggression. Yet, if he sees or hears another dog while on a walk he puffs up and starts growling & will even lunge towards anyone he doesn't…</p>
<p>Hello Corgi lovers,</p>
<p>I am frustrated & hoping for helpful tips/techniques to help with Finn. He is very protective/territorial of his people and friends and has become very aggressive towards newcomers in people form or pretty much anything that is around us on walks or outings. Within our home he is very loving and sweet with no signs of aggression. Yet, if he sees or hears another dog while on a walk he puffs up and starts growling & will even lunge towards anyone he doesn't know who approaches us. We have tried correction with words and the training collars to no avail. We (my husband & I) have made sure that it is not due to an insecure or nervous energy that we convey. We have spoken to a few trainers who annoyingly blame his aggressive protective behavior on his breed, which I just cannot agree with. We have recently started sending him to a doggy day camp to create more socialization without our presence & he does fine with the other dogs but will still growl and attempt to snap at people that become too close when we hand him off to the staff. We have even tried to give him a treat when people approach to distract him & make him feel that new people/dogs mean a positive thing... but I feel that I am reinforcing bad behavior by giving him a treat just to have him become aggressive directly after his treat has been swallowed. I don't trust him not to bite a stranger by allowing them to give him a treat upon approach... Please help... what do I do? He loves walks... but I can't risk him actually getting in a fight with another dog or biting another person....</p>
