An American bulldog got the best of my doberman years ago. Latched onto the side of him, right in front of the back leg at the dog park. I have never kicked something so hard in my life. Almost broke my foot. I was running to the truck to get a bat when the owner finally got him loose. Never seen anything like that before.

She was protecting you. I have a Golden Retriever that is not aggressive at all UNTIL another dog tries to get close to me. He'll play with the same dog forever and never show any aggressiveness, but it's when he is by my side and another dog runs up, he gets pissed and snaps.

I thought mine was a huge vagina for a long time. He would piss himself if another dog growled at him and one day this giant dog runs up to us and he jumps on his arse. He didnt latch on or anything, but I was very surprised. He's only done it a few more times, but it's been in the same situation.

IMHO dogs must know only one person is Alfa and it ain't them. You present two situations. A dog becoming increasingly aggressive and a dog acting normally and protectively to an outside threat.

The next time you are around other dogs that are close but outside of her personal space and she acts aggressive despite being told no(laid back ears, straight tail not wagging, aggressive barking, growling, air on back of neck up, or straining against the leash to get at other dog) shove her over belly up, kneel down non her chest enough to hold her but not hurt her, grab her by the snout and clamp bit shut while pushing her head down to the ground. Growl your commands at her. Let her know she is not in control. Make her submit to you. Then let her up,tell her to sit and praise her if she is again calm.

Not a pit bull, obviously trolling.

In my experience a dog disobeying will respond to an e collar well. A dog fighting or actively persuing prey will not respond well. Fwiw

I have tried similar tactics...the phrase "being a bulldog" does refer to being tenacious as all get out for a reason.

A dog on a leash will always be aggressive towards a dog approaching not on a leash. When you're walking your dog on a leash his mindset is totally different than if he was just running around.

It's either they feel the need to protect or logistically realize they're at a disadvantage if shite goes down
