I have a 3 year old Aussie. Who is great for the most part with my children most women that come into the house but has some serious aggression problems. I can not take him anywhere and do to his biting he can't be around anyone outside a couple people with out wanting to bite them.
Lately he does not respond to me. Actually will run because I am the one that corrects him. He will lay on his side and roll to his back once I raise my voice and go towards him. I never hit him though I have been told to pen him down hold his scruff and say no.
He has no food aggression. Thinks small dogs are toys and will grab them by the tail. Other dogs he starts fights unless I pen him down tell him no and allow the other dog to approach him. When I release him he plays with them.
He has been aggressive since 12 weeks old went after my neighbors which I made him sit and then let them approach him. continued to be a problem where he would lunge at people. When walking him any house with a dog he immediately went into attack mode weather the dog was there or not. He just remembered where they lived. He chases cats over the fence and for several days will be fixated on the spot they jumped the fence. He has busted through the fence three times chasing cats. I let him out in the morning to go to the bathroom and he charges it first thing nothing being there. I call him he doesn't respond just wants to go after it. I tell him No and try to get him focused on something else.
He is trained to sit at the door and stay not allowed to go out with out being called. He isn't allowed on the furniture. Spends his days with me following me around the house. Been trained to search which he loves. plays fetch, brings bones and sets them next to me. Jumps next to us but not on us. Lays sits stays. Drops anything he has in his mouth. When I daughters come home he charges the door barking, does the same with me, but stops short of biting and goes into play mode.
Anyone else he goes straight to barking and biting. I have had people come to the door while I make him sit and stay grab his collar tell him no sit but he goes nuts. Tried the not paying attention to his response and standing between him and the door with a muzzle on.
He loves riding in the car but anytime another car comes next to us or people walking he goes straight into attack mode.
had people over asked no one to pay attention to him we sat at the table he was fine as he came up to people after relaxing and becoming playful they would give him a pet. Nothing to get him excited. Then one person dropped something and as the reached for it he immediately charged and bit them. He was put on his side told no and put in the garage.
the next time my daughter had friends over put him in his pen sat outside next to it waited til he calmed down allowed him to come out and walk around around while the girls sat quietly. He did fine for about 5 minutes walking up to each no one paying him attention going about their stuff. Then as he seemed all good one girl called him pet him threw his ball and which he started to chase then turned, charged and bit the girl next to her.
I take him for a walk anyone or any dog approaches he immediately goes into protective mode. I grab the leash make him stand right next to me tell him no. If he doesn't stop I tell him to sit. If he keeps it up I tell him no rub his head and repeat no. As soon as the other dog or person gets near he tries to bit them focuses on them as we walk away.
Driving in the car which he loves he goes nuts trying to get anyone near the car. I correct him tell him to sit but he goes right back to doing it. If they leave he searches for them.
I take him to petco make him sit and he goes into immediate attack mode. I make get on his side grab his scruff tell him no. Will make him sit tell him no. He just keeps going.
Take him to the local coffee shop stand back let people pass in the distance stand between him and the people tell him no but he still wants to go after them.
Done the stranger give him a treat still get the same response.
The last attack my daughter had a friend over both played with him the night before. I took him outside to go to the bathroom and play. had him on a tie out that extended 3 feet into the house. He went to the bathroom I walked to the door both firls sitting on the couch not paying attention to him. He comes charging in full blast snaps the tie out jumps on the girl bites her shoulder my daughter screamed no pushed him down and he immediately bit the girls foot. Completely unprovoked. No one has hit him. Don't use sprays. Small tap on the side or pinned is all he gets. until the last 6 mouths he has slept in a kennel. This is the fourth Aussie I have had. He comes from a good breeder of champing show/agility dogs. Gets along with my mom her husband and a couple female friends, me and my daughters. Out of four times of biting people only one was provoked my daughters wrestling and he went after the aggressor. He was corrected at the time.
Any suggestions? Hate to have to put him down. Can't adopt him out because of the attacking. Hiring a trainer isn't an option right now. This is the first dog I have not been able to have off leash following all my commands. He attacks all small animals, spent an hour under my deck attacking a racoon. Still looks for it a month latter. Not sure how to break that focus. Treats calling him putting him on a leash and walking him outside to go to the restroom grabbing a toy and try playing with him. Just wants to go after something that's not there.
