Since losing their alpha
male golden retriever, the younger
dog appears to resent the older
dog being top
dog, and has started attacking the older
dog, who can not protect herself, and has been badly bitten on a number of occasions, although no problems when meeting
other dogs, Any suggestions as to how I can correct this behaviour by the young one.
Getting him neutered will tackle the problem in a two - pronged approach: firstly, it will largely prevent him from initiating any problems, as he will have much less desire to fight; and secondly, it will prevent
other dogs from perceiving him as a threat and acting accordingly,
since he will no longer smell much like a
male.
