Question
I have a 3yr old pit that is dog aggressive. This only came to be after my dog was attacked. It was brought to my attention that it is fear aggression and he has a real lack of confidence. What can I do to help my baby Peanut? I dont have the funds for a professional trainer or class. Thanks.

Answer
Dianna,
Most dogs become  more aggressive after age two.  So this may have already been something that was going to happen.  You need to be the alpha of this dog.  Before I give you more information, would you please write me back on some of the things you do to be the Alpha with him.  I can then give you better information.
