Question: I have a 8 month old pitbull, most likely mixed. Doesnt show aggression but has intensity to meet other dogs and people. Oversocialized? My issue is that he lives with my 2 other dogs. Senior golden retriever and 5+ year old poodle mix. The Golden Retriever does corrections for humping without being aggressive but the poodle will try to correct and they've had a few altercations without blood but definite hard bite holds. I assume my puppy is too pushy? But I also want to blame the poodle. My pup has some obedience training. The poodle hasn't been trained nor properly socialized. Since the pup is mine and the poodle isn't, what can I do with my puppy to not let that happen? Not to defend my pup but he's played with a high intensity lab and Dutch shepherd and both have corrected his behaviors for being pushy so I assume my pup doesn't have aggression. The poodle I assume probably has fear aggression
If you recommend a trainer I'd would be open to that. I'm training obedience but I do admit I struggle to enforce proper socialization. By that I mean being able to have him focus on me and not push to greet and meet every other being
Other quick note: My brothers Yorkie also has the same issue. He doesn't like my dog and would growl and snip and my pup has forced him to the ground without biting down just pressing with an open mouth.
