<p>Charlie has been the sweetest dog until about 6 months of age. He started become food aggressive towards bones. We tried everything we could think of but nothing seemed to work and then the trainer we were working with for obedience training at his school said just give him the bone and don't take it away... <br/>Well... now he's been neutered and since the second day he started to become extremely aggressive. I understand that dogs can be aggressive for a few days after surgery due to not feeling well but Charlie never really... stopped. It's been 3 weeks now since he was fixed and his aggression is escalating. He growls at everyone. He starts to get stiff, his eyes go still and dilate, and he starts to give a low rumble. If you try to get near, he bares his teeth and growls louder. He first only did this when bones were around him but now he does it to anyone. He mostly grows when it's just me and him and someone tries to come near me like my parents... but now he's turning on me. I have no idea what to do and my patience is wearing thin because I have family coming in town next week for Thanksgiving. He loves people and he's great out in public... it's when he gets home the issues start to appear. I have 5 year old twins that are going to be running around the house and I don't want him to go off on them. Charlie is only 7 months old and I know I need to nip this in the butt. There is no way I'm getting rid of my kid either and putting his issues on someone else... he's my responsibility. I can't quite afford a behaviorist yet either being a poor college student. I have been trying to wear him down too through a lot of exercise and I mean... 2+ hours at the dog park... maybe another hour walk later.... and some training. I have him mentally tired but he still puts up a fight. I stood over him and growled back at him last night (I know I sound ridiculous) and he backed down but only during the time we were having our disagreement. My vet told me to start making him feel like he's the lowest of the low so I've been making my extremely shy and extremely submissive quiet sheltie go outside first before he can... feeding her first and making him watch before he can eat... making him sit and wait until I cross the threshold before he can... but he's still extremely angry. I want to cry at this point because he really is a good dog, I just don't know what to do next. </p> Help! Our corgi is being terrible to our relatives' dog!tag:mycorgi.com,2013-12-26:1150197:Topic:18304152013-12-26T01:38:53.236ZSarah, David & Pup Henryhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/SarahMcDonough
<p>Help -- we're so embarrassed! We've taken our corgi Henry, now 18mos old, on vacation to our relatives. They have a middle-aged female boxer named Hannah, an extremely sweet, extremely submissive dog, but Henry is behaving like a huge jerk to her! He freaks out and runs after her barking and snarling when she goes outside. He'll suddenly bark and lunge at her when both of them appear to be doing nothing at all. And heaven forbid someone puts down a bone or a treat, he'll be all over her…</p>
<p>Help -- we're so embarrassed! We've taken our corgi Henry, now 18mos old, on vacation to our relatives. They have a middle-aged female boxer named Hannah, an extremely sweet, extremely submissive dog, but Henry is behaving like a huge jerk to her! He freaks out and runs after her barking and snarling when she goes outside. He'll suddenly bark and lunge at her when both of them appear to be doing nothing at all. And heaven forbid someone puts down a bone or a treat, he'll be all over her snarling and squealing like he wants to kill her. But, all this is strangely intermittent. Most of the time, he and she get along great! They sniff each other, they share food, they nap and get petted and nose around without any concern for the other one. It's only sometimes, usually when Hannah gets excited to go outside or affectionate when someone new arrives. But it's also unpredictable -- sometimes it just comes out of the blue!</p>
<p></p>
<p>At first we figured Henry was just herding her and getting upset when she "tried to leave the pack" (went outside). But after he started bossing her around and attacking her over treats and toys, we got seriously concerned. Ours is a one-dog house; Henry is used to being to only dog around. And at dog parks he plays really well with all the other dogs, whatever size or breed. He doesn't appear to ever take a dominant position? What could be messing him up now, and what can we do about it? We intervene, we separate them, we remove the stimuli, but we need to train him to relax co-habitating with another dog. We just don't know how! Please help!</p> Sudden personality change in puppytag:mycorgi.com,2011-09-09:1150197:Topic:12943742011-09-09T00:54:51.533ZBrooke & Charliehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/derpdog
<p>So I've had Charlie for a week tomorrow. He's almost 15 weeks old. Like I said in my other post, he's my first puppy that I've owned myself - so sorry if I'm being a bit naive!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The first few days I had him, he was the biggest sweetheart - giving me kisses, snuggling me, following me around, listening to me, going potty correctly outside. Now he's getting really rough and "sassy" with me… AKA he just will not listen unless I get to the point of screaming.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I tend to pick him up a lot, because even though he'll go up some stairs (two or three at most) he won't go the whole way, and he won't go downstairs. Usually I pick him up and hold him like a 3 year old - puppy arms over my shoulder, secure holding - and he hasn't minded it until now. If I lower him a bit, he attempts to bite my face. He's bitten my lip and my cheeks and left marks already. He does during play time, too. Every time he does it I yell "NO." and (if playtime) walk away/(if holding) set him down. The second I play/pick him up again he'll be right back at it though.</p>
<p>He also lunges at me if I attempt to give him any sort of kisses, so I've stopped. It's getting really frustrating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another thing is he knows how to go potty outside. I know he does - he's intelligent. Now, when it's overcast or at night, he just will not go, even if I walk around the yard with him (not playing). He hasn't done this again until yesterday and today. I'll stay out there for an hour and he will NOT go, but the second we go inside he'll go potty. When I pick him up mid-potty (when I catch him) and put him outside and tell him to go, he won't. Sometimes, if I yell at him (the stern "NO." or "QUIET." while he's barking while somebody is sleeping or talking) it seems like he purposely goes and goes potty somewhere where I'm going to step!</p>
<p>When we DO go outside and he does go, he just won't listen to me now. I'll call out "Charlie." in a stern voice and he'll look, then continue doing what he does. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He also is starting to resist going into his cage. He used to go into it and sit while I told him good boy, but now he struggles and resists and bites me if I try to put him in the cage. Everything is clean - and I plan on washing the bedding again just in case.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know how to fix it. :( What can I do?</p>
