Kujo does know I'm in control and when corrected in this situation he submits right away.I've done all of his training and he isn't even animal aggressive.It is an Akitas natural instinct to protect.I simply wanted just to get opinions not people telling me I can't control my dog.Just to double check I logged on to an Akita info site and it says that males are very protective over female owners when the male owner is away.I guess what I need to do is speak on line with experienced Akita owners.If people don't own them they no as little about them as I would about a breed I never owned.I truly love this site and respect everyones opinion but evidently I mad a mistake Putting up this post.
