American Staffordshire Terrier Forum:
Aggression in Amstaff

Hi all I am a first time amstaff owner and have a question. My amstaff seems to get really aggressive to certain dogs and I was wondering what methods you have for correcting this behavior. I have tried spanking which seems to make things worse I started treating as other dogs came into site to build a positive association and have now moved on to have him sit at the site of another dog and stay until released then treat him. Anything else I could do. He is neutered and was taken to dog parks and social areas starting at a young age.
