My Finny ( 4 monthes) is having some agression stuff as well. He can be sweet all day long and then just have one bad moment ( like growing when we try to lift him up, nipping on pants, stuff like that) .Since we found out he does have some agression , we have been working on him with
a couple things to stop this behavior NOW. If this growing things doesn't stop, and if you don't stop it, it will moat likely turn nto agression towards you. Here's some things were doing with Finny, who is doing a thousand times better then before:

1. a couple times during the day, gat a handful of food and feed him, from your hand, piece by piece. He then learns that YOU supply all food...and have the choice to take it away from him.
2. During feeding, make him SIT for his food and his water, showing him that your giving him the food...basicly the same theme as no. 1.

3. About eight times a day, take him, flip him over on his side, and hold him there. If he wiggles, say in almost a crow " awk! awk! awk!" voice.

4. O.k, I know your dog loves bones, but what kind of bones are you goiving him? If he doesn't stop growing when you approach him while he's chewing on his bone, just simply don't give him that bone, or others like it!


O.k, I know that he isn't (at least right now) aggresive to you, but you have to show him that your in charge, and he does what you do. If he grows when you aproach him ( with his bone ) just go over there right away, and shake him by his scruff and firmly say NO GROW. This is how the mother dog would punish him if he growed at her. hope this helps!
