aggression towards other dogs

Question
Good Morning Patt.
Our 18 month old German Shepherd, Ziggy has recently become very aggressive with other dogs both male and female.  He tends to approach them with a jump and the tail up indicating play and quickly becomes aggressive and wants to put the dog in it's place.  He is a large neutered male at 90# and is to say the least imposing.

He is very good with people and great with the family.  

Do you have any advice on how to eliminate the aggression towards other dogs?

Thanks,

Bill Ridgley

Answer
HELLO BILL
SORRY BEING SO LATE A NEAR DEATH IN THE FAMILY SOON TO BE WITH MOTHER IN LAW IN A HOME.

HE IS BECOMING DOMINANT.  THIS MUST STOP NOW. NOT A DAY LONGER.  WHEN HE DOES THIS, GRAB A HUNK OF HAIR ON TOP OR BACK OF HIS NECK, LIFT UP AND SHAKE AND PINCH HIM HARD AND HOLLER NO NO.

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, GO TO THE SHOCK COLLAR WITH A REMOTE, THIS WILL STOP HIM IN SECONDS.  HE WILL NOT KNOW WHO DID THE PAIN, ONLY NOT TO DO A BAD THING AGAIN.  NEVER OVER USE THE COLLAR ONLY WHEN WALKING OR BEING NEAR DOGS THIS WILL GET HIM OVER THIS QUICKLY.

PURPOSELY WALK HIM WHERE OTHER DOGS ARE, IF HE POSTURES, SHOCK HIM.  GET ONE AT WWW.DRSFOSTERSMITH.COM

LET ME KNOW WHAT WORKS.
