<p>Yes to the leash, but no to removing him. When you remove him he learns nothing. he must learn to be in the situation and not act aggressively. I would never pick him up. If the poodle is up to it, walks on leash together can be beneficial.</p>

<p>Anna, would it make sense to keep him on a leash at times and remove him from the room for any acts of aggression. I am thinking it would be easier to lead him away on a leash than try to pick him up or lead him by the collar and it would be a non-violent intervention to teach him who is in charge. No?</p>

<p>I agree with the suggestions given by your Vet, except for putting him on his back, because this puts YOU at risk of a bite..... If the aggressive behavior is ONLY towards the poodle, I recommend keeping them separate when you are not home and when feeding them, crating one at night, and using a soft muzzle on him when you are all together. Then you could safely implement the putting him on his back technique. The soft muzzle will allow him to drink. It should fit fairly snugly so he…</p>

<p>well...we've been to the vet and Murphy is healthy. she thinks it is all me not being "alpha" enough. So, per her suggestions, he no longer sleeps in the bed, and he has only limited access to me in the recliner. if he does anything threatening to Charlie, i am to immediately put him on his back. i'm still on guard most of the time, but at least i can sleep without threat of a corgi attack! thank you all for your ideas and suggestions!</p>

<p>On a lighter note, your last comment made me laugh and reminded me of one on my favorite poems introduced to me many years ago by a Canadian friend:</p>

We are seeing the vet tomorrow. I so appreciate everyone's comments and ideas.<br />

Like the children's rhyme... When he is good, he is very very good. But when he is bad, he is horrid!

<p>Updates are so good for people like Anna and the others posted here to help them consider your questions. Less experienced folks like me also appreciate knowing how things work out when people are struggling with an issue because everyone does care. I think updates are welcome even if you have an easier, faster solution than expected. I really hope you get some help soon!</p>

<p>I agree with Natalie and would separate them even when you are there. I know this may be hard to do, but a 14 year old dog can be easily and badly hurt, but also the risk to you in separating them is great. In the heat of a fight, he will not know the difference between your hands and the poodle... Things happen so fast. Update us on the Vet's visit, then it will be easier to sort things out, hopefully.</p>

<p>It is only a guess that it may have been the beginning of his brain tumor forming. The only signs for a couple of years were unexplained acts of aggression. He had always been the sweetest boy and loved my other dog to pieces, as well as all other dogs he met. But then, starting at about 9 yo he had a few bouts of severe aggression against her and against a neighbor's dog. They didn't happen very often, but they would just erupt out of the blue.

<p>It is only a guess that it may have been the beginning of his brain tumor forming. The only signs for a couple of years were unexplained acts of aggression. He had always been the sweetest boy and loved my other dog to pieces, as well as all other dogs he met. But then, starting at about 9 yo he had a few bouts of severe aggression against her and against a neighbor's dog. They didn't happen very often, but they would just erupt out of the blue. No warning signs and no apparent reason for it to happen. After about two years he started having seizures. That's when we discovered he had the tumor and it was quite large at that point. But like I said, its only a guess this caused his unexpected bouts of aggression. He appeared healthy and happy as could be otherwise. </p>

<p>Best of luck to you. I hope you find a way to manage your pup's issues. </p>
