Question
i have a 10 mom old APBT he recently started to show some aggression towards my mom and sister this worries me because they can be dangerous dogs, also i recently put a dog house for him and he does not likes it i already try to put tricks inside and he gets in to eat them after he is done he gets out again what else can i do

Answer
A ten month old juvenile (puppy) should NOT be showing aggression toward any human.  The dog-house problem PALES in comparison to this.  You need an in-person evaluation by a credentialed behavior expert (NOT a dog trainer with make believe titles.)  I suggest you contact the veterinary college closest to your home and ask for a referral.  This dog appears to be a time bomb and you can't take any chances with this threat of aggression toward any human being.  I once had a client whose APDT got into a fight on leash with another dog; she got in the middle.  The police had to shoot the dog to get him off her and she was in the hospital for 8 weeks.  Take immediate steps to have an expert evaluate this dog!
