i have to repeat several time for him to leave it, before he will leave it alone. he is very protective of me and when kids come around me and show me affection he will go after them. he is 1 1/2 year old and very loving otherwise. he just is very hard headed. i know all about bull dog breeds because i had 4 english bulldogs and bred once. i know that they are stubburn but i have never had a problem like this.

I would like to suggest you putting a prong/pinch collar on him and a leash, and attaching him too your waist for a while (* indoors and out). This way every time he messes up you have the ability to correct immediately without yelling, with out chasing him, and you can remain calm, in control, and firm... Also! If he is showing any kind of aggression use that collar to put him in a "down" position (this is submissive) put your foot on that leash right next to his collar so he has no room too move from the "down", and make him stay their until he settles down and behaves correctly... do not praise until he can sit calmly and properly for a few moments.
it shouldn't take long before he "gets" whose the boss, and whats expected.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMQYb
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Sounds like he doesn't quite know who's boss. There's no sense repeating yourself - he heard the first time, and if you keep repeating the command it tells him that it's optional to obey the first time. Perhaps making it clear exactly who's alpha would help. Ask him to do something like sit before he gets fed. If he doesn't sit the first time, he doesn't get fed. Other things, like not letting him leave the house until you've stepped out the door first, refusing to let him on furniture until you say so might help. Also, if he goes after kids then you really need to get him to a behaviourist specialist quickly. He may not be too dangerous yet, but that behaviour needs to be stopped right away before it becomes too hard to reverse, or before he attacks and ends up euthanised.

As a breeder you must know that each pet has their own personality. That said your pet needs to be socialized more. Take him to a park and teach him that most people are OK to come and talk to you or give you a hug. How is you pet with other pets yours/or other peoples??? I bet not so good. You can also have another family member take total control of your pet for a while. That means total control where they feed, groom, walk etc. so your pet will take commands from someone other than yourself. It is important that your pet knows that he/she is not in command of you. I have a Cocker Spaniel that is going through the same problem as he thinks I belong to him. My wife has taken total control of him and he is doing better after 3 days. You could also look up pet behavior books at the library or talk to your Vet about it he may know a behaviorist that you can see. I wish you the best of luck...
