I think both of you make sense. In Perry's eyes his Dad is the Alpha, he always looks to him for guidence. We talked it over and my husband has agreed to correct him during these episodes. I did work on Perry, but as I said, to him Dad is alpha, he used to jump around when I put my shoes on, he would grab the shoe laces or the shoes so I couldn't put them on, I have taught him to sit while I put my shoes on and then I give him a treat. I have taught him to sit up, shake hands and lay down. Now my husband has agreed to work with him making him sit to put the leash on, ( he hates the leash, but loves to go out) and on his aggressiveness
so we will see what happens. If that don't work he and Dad will go to doggie behavior
classes. Thanks for your input!

Good news, my husband has agreed to take a one on one class with Perry so we signed him up today, Monday. They will call tomorrow and set up a time. Can't wait to see how he does.
