re: behavior

First of all, it is better to get your dog fixed. Once aggressive behavior is developped, it is very difficult to get it out. YOU HAVE TO BE FIRM with your eskie. it will take a while. For example when your eskies growls at people or at you, be firm on saying NO. Dont let your ekie be dominant. when he or she stop growling, praise that and give him a treat. Always remember, treat when the dog has worked for it... About company, bring people home more often, keeping all safety ofcourse, and little by little he will learn to be sociable. Have him also play with other dogs. that will work well. remember, he is like a problem child. remember not too be too tender, only be firm, but kind and decisive. eskies learn fast with positive reinforcement.
