Is this a problem?

[Ree'sKujo]

I truly do love this site and respect peoples opinions,however I don't like people telling me that I need to teach Kujo that I'm in control,especially when no one knows how he's raised.I don't mean to insult anyone or start a problem as I really love this site and I appreciate the advise but I don't appreciate the critisizm,please know that I'm not reffering to you and forgive my spelling.I don't like people insinuating that I'm putting people in harms way when I take all measures to protect my neighbors.If you own an Akita then you would know it's a natural instinct to protect the female owner when the male owner is not around.Although I asked for opinions I did not ask for critisizm.

No one critisized you. They were just giving advice. I agree, you should probably go to a behaviourist.

I also agree that no one here has critisized you.

Well it is true with ANY breed the owner & any other family members NEEDS to be in control. The humans are the pack leaders, the pets are not.

If you don't want to be in control than you don't have to be but expect this problem to grow and gro and grow and possibly some other issues may pop up too.

If I read that wrong & you think that you are in control as hard as it is to hear it you are not, or at least not fully or maybe you are you are just sending the wrong signals to your dog. If you were in total control your dog would wait for commands or signals from you.
Is it possible you are tensing up, showing him signs that it is "ok" to be aggressive? The dog whisperer's main training tool is to teach the owners not the dogs. In a situation like this where the dog is aggressive and the owner thinks they are still in control (as also seen on Oprah with her dog) it is mostly because the owner is tense, showing some type of sign that it is ok for the dog to be aggressive.

Some people only want to hear what they want to hear. I know I would be devestated if I had a problem and others were telling me ways to correct it that I don't agree with but I still would have to face it. How else can I learn?

Please, no one here is saying anything bad about you, or critisizing you or your dog, we are only trying to help.
