You can show that fricker who the alpha is. Punch him in the nose, flip him on his back, and grab his exposed jugular firmly.



Have Rex over, Rex will demonstrate the dominate male. The dog will then be just a power bottom....

I’d “take it to a farm”, but that’s just me.

I’d probably just actually take it to a farm. Will be much happier.

Rubbing his belly afterward probably wasnt the best approach

2 and 1/2 year old Mini Aussie, about 9 months ago began getting real territorial around one of my kids. It's to the point where he will attack me or the wife (no pics) if we walk in the room or get too close to where she is sitting. Has attacked the wife 4 times now and bit hard enough to bruise and break skin. Dog is otherwise perfectly normal and loving. It's like an on- off switch flips in its head. Will attack you one minute then come to get a belly rub the next like nothing ever happened.

We also have young kids around him and I'm worried they won't heed his warning growls etc.

We put it up for Aussie rescue but I'm worried its too aggressive to palm off on someone else.

Hadn't tried a trainer yet cause my gut tells me a trainer can't fix it.


It needs to be socialized. Training will help. In the meantime, I would keep him away from the kids unless you or your wife are there to supervise.

kill it.

Kill all dogs.

Met a lady today who was CASUALLY talking about how her chow bit her 6 month old baby's head..... causing 15 stitches. She didn't even seem to fricking care. WTF!

frick her, and frick 90% of most dog owners.

Double frick you if you bring your dog to a retail store.
Triple frick you if you keep your dog in your purse.

Some are joking about killing it but that's seriously the only option here.

Are you going to allow this violent dog to remain on your property with children in the household or do you give it away to someone else, knowing it has a violent history. You even said yourself that it's like he has an on/off switch that can't be predicted.

F that. A bullet in his head is the hardest but most responsible option. I'm serious about that.

A trainer can probably fix this but it ain’t cheap and you have to choose the right trainer.

Whoa, you seem to have some anger issues as well, perhaps you and the dog should be roommates...

I actually got into it with him a couple of times and beat him. He won't back down.


Then you shouldn't either. Keep beating that arse until it submits.

You know what to do. Keep it secured and away from kids until you find a way to get rid of it.

I have two dogs that I love like family. If they started to attack people in the family, or couldn’t be trusted with small kids...well... I just wouldn’t love them anymore.

ETA: Same goes for humans.

I put down an aggressive Lab/Poodle mix that I got from the pound because it was fairly large dog and was afraid it was going to really hurt someone. Now have a mini-aussie and she is an awesome, sweet dog. Does nip every now and then, which i've been told is typical of herding dogs. Since they are kind of small and less likely to really hurt someone, i would try to get it some help.

Let me have him. My favorite breed. I'll arrange for him to be relayed to me via Aussie Rescue.


We just lost our Aussie two years ago on Thanksgiving to old age. He was 16.

Your's will have a good home here on the farm where Aussies are meant to be ... on farms.
