Aggressive American Foxhound Attacked The Gardener

(California)

I have a 3 year old American Foxhound/Dane mix who's friendly in neutral areas but has become territorial with places like the backyard and the house. We can slowly introduce someone to him in these areas and he's ok but a couple of days ago, the gardener suddenly came in the backyard and my dog sprinted outside, jumped, and nipped at the him; apparently it was enough to give him a bruise the next day.

This is definitely territorial aggression in my eyes but it's progressed from barking to now, nipping. Not sure how to correct this without making it worse. Thanks for the help!!!

How to Fix Your Aggressive Foxhound
by: Adam G. Katz

Hi,

You need to start dog obedience training with this dog, asap. Buy a muzzle. Get your dog used to wearing it.

Buy a pinch collar and a six foot leash. Learn how to give your dog a motivational correction. There is hope, but you're going to need to get out and work with your dog-- with the muzzle on.

Have someone come into the yard and when your dog reacts give a motivational correction with the leash and collar.
