I see that you got him got him from rescue?? Contacting them would be an excellent start!
IN the meant time be very careful of activities that put Iggy and yourself in the situation where he feels he wants to display aggression. I would limit his walks to private areas, and either restrict company or put him in his crate in another area of the house.
Good luck. Please let us know how it goes. |
I agree with the above, very difficult to help you over the internet. Definitly call the rescue if anything they would know if the dog had any hisory of behavioral issues. I asked how old the dog was because if we are dealing with a puppy the methods used to correct the problem would be differant then those used with an older dog. Have the dog evaluated by an experienced trainer in your area. In the meantime, i dont agree with leaving the dog loose when you have visitors. Dont take any chances, put him in his crate when people are around until you know you have control over your dog!
