Michael,
I watched Cesar for the first time the other day and was so impressed with him. I was just stunned seeing all his "dogs" just hanging out together. I didn't even know that was possible.
Jack (my disfunctional male corgi) was a good puppy and only started showing aggression at the age of 2. Jack was raised with his mother and a Austrialian shepard male. Basically the problems started when I saw Jack attack the Ausy and I mean visciously. He never attacked his mother but barks constantly when I let them outside like he won't let her run around until he makes it clear that he's boss. Like barking in her face. When the Ausy would get up to outside he'd attack. Then I had him fixed but probably waited too long, it did not stop his aggression. I got a schnauzer (female)when he was 6 (his current age) not 8 as I previously stated. He had shown no aggression whatsoever and they were best buds. She has since died (car). We recently got a female German Shepard puppy and I thought that since she was female that he'd be ok with her. But he laid into her pretty good before I could separate them which I did quickly. Now I keep them totally separated because of the obvious, I don't want to traumatize the puppy or give Jack any chance to hurt her. Another thing about Jack he dislikes children and will run up and bark and snarl and intimidate. Needless to say he is a threat. I still love him, he's a sweety but unfortunately I failed to train him properly. I have a professional alfa dog trainer coming here to analize the situation first hand and give recommendations. Will keep you informed. Thanks for all your comments and interest in the situation.
John
