i have a beagle that is gentle with humans, but very aggressive to other dogs.?

Question

i want to know if there is a way i can fix this social problem or not. a few pieces of information is that when i first got him[as a puppy], another dog [that a family friend owns] would sort of try to play/attack him. my dog is neutered, and is currently 3 years old. also, he is only really aggressive to other males, but when he meets a female, he is nice and gentle. thank you in advance for answering my question. =]

well, he mainly protects my mother, as he's really close to her, but in general, regardless of who's walking him, he will bark and try to run to another dog

Answer 1

I think his aggressions need to be studied. I would work with an animal behavior specialist. He should be socialized away from the home for starters. I raised many beagles over the years and sadly, I had to remove one of my males because he always picked fights with the old guy.

He was a fabulous dog otherwise, but we could not break this.

Answer 2

Your dog is just a super little dude that knows that he has a good thing going and he dang well doesn't want any other dude stepping in and messing it all up--- he is cool enough with the ladies though because it may be neutered but-- he isn't dead !!!
Sounds to me like you've got a superb little guy that is in total control of the way he wants it !!

Answer 3

maby the dog is being protective of you but it isnt on common for dogs to be gentel with feamels. I have an idea my god mother has an dog how was abused as a puppy and she got her in lots of dog groups i now your dog wasnt abused but maby getting it in social groups will help.

Answer 4

I would get a muzzle to start and then take him to a dog park with the muzzle on and go from there. Praise him for good behavior and disipline him for bad unwanted behavior.

You may have a pit beagle
