7mth old agresshive lurcher cross staffy

(wales uk)

My puppy Archie is 7 months old, I adopted from a neighbor at 9 days old when the other puppies died by 8 days. I have bottle fed him until 3 months of age. He's very affectionate and loves my four teenagers' hubby and myself. But while he is nice to anyone we let into the house he is always wanting to fight other dogs and bite kids outside the home. on front door step and other side of driveway gate. How can I calm him. I have just ordered some calming pills hoping this will help.

will he calm down eventually.

we have a husky and a golden retriever and he gets on well with these.
waiting to hear from you.

Nothing In Life Is Free
by: Adam G. Katz

Employ the "Nothing In Life Is Free" approach, so that your dog starts to view you as the "pack leader." If your dog doesn't see you as the leader, then your corrections will be meaningless. So, if you're doing subtle things (inadvertently) to undermine your leadership role around the house-- it will be counter-productive.

Dog Aggression

Yes-- you can fix this. It's what we call "dog aggression" (in contrast to handler aggression).
You need to focus on two things:

1. Teach your dog to walk on a loose leash around all distractions. If she's on a loose leash, she cannot be paying attention to you and the other dog at the same time. It's either one or another, and if the leash is loose, then she has to watch you because she cannot FEEL from the tension in the leash, where you are.

2. You'll need to learn how to give a motivational correction, so that she clearly understands that this behavior is unacceptable. If she already knows that it's unacceptable, then the issue is that your correction is not firm enough, or you're not using the proper training collar (or it isn't fitted correctly!)
