I have a seven year old American Eskimo with a few...well a few things that we have been trying to improve upon.
He minds me, yet is extremely protective to the point where I feel like I am isolated as no one can come near me. He went through a training class...and at the end they told me he was untrainable. After I paid. I work fulltime and am in college full time so I don't have enough money to enroll him in any classes anymore, already tried that.
He definatley fear bites, we have to put him out at the vet completley because he doesnt just fear bite, but fear attacks and lunges as well. With others I think its fear biting yet I know he isnt afraid of me and doesn't appreciate when I make him mind, and has bitten me numerous times. Alot of the time it is when he sees another dog (Especially one in the neighborhood that he has tried to attack) and I try to correct him from screaming and growling at the dog with his pinch collar. He doesn't like being corrected, I guess I can kind of associate him with a spoiled child, I know I am guilty of spoiling him and trying to reverse that has been a struggle. He also will not let me touch his butt to brush him or his nails at all. When he attacks me he usually realizes what he is doing after a moment, stops and then tries to kiss me and make me pet him. Basically I think he may be a bit confused.
Basically...any advice would really benifit me, I would add a picture, but am not completley sure how to do so. Thanks!
