his name is Arthur and we got him in 2021 he is 2 years old (turning 3 soonish) and when we got him he was so exited, he was so happy to see his big brother (my other dog Harvey) and Harvey isn't aggressive, but things took a turn for the worst my dogs got along well but Arthur learned to bark at the mail man like Harvey, but he went all out slamming himself into the door when he sees the mailman, he also became super aggressive and attacks us sometimes (he was doing it in play but dose cut our skin sometimes) and one day we forgot to close the gate and found him biting a guy the guy called on him so we cant risk him biting anyone else, but he attacks my pet rabbit and fights raccoons and cats and it worries me because he gets scratches but still wants to fight them, dose anyone have any advice for what i can do?????!!!!
Still looking for help about this guy XD
With any sort of aggression, the best answer is finding a behaviorist and a trainer. Aggression isn't something you can fix overnight especially if he already has a bite on his record. For the time being i highly recommend muzzle training him and muzzling him if he will have contact with strangers outside of the house. The best type of muzzle is a bite proof basket muzzle
I don't know about a muzzle tho cuz he might get sad 😔
The only reason dogs have a bad reaction to muzzles is a lack of training/proper introduction to them. I highly recommend looking up the muzzle up project and learning all about muzzles. as his owner, it is your responsibility to keep him safe and a dog that bites needs a muzzle.
