I really though we'd bossed this but.
I have read loads of posts relating to our problem but everyone seems to have similar yet very different problems so, as with every other post I have been through, please bear with me and any advice would be more than welcome.Wit`s end springs to mind!
Bayliss is now 3 (neutered) and full working strain
Desmo, nearly 1, (entire) and again, full worker.
We brought desmo home at 9 weeks old and had a few issues with Bayliss but for obvious reasons expected that. Pup was and still is 100% submissive to bayliss all the time yet, Bayliss is still attacking him.
When pup got to 6 months old( as many of you know) the attacks got that bad that after taking advice from many of you and our vet, we had bayliss `done`. This helped for a while then slowly the playing got rougher and the full on attacks started again.
Bayliss seems to have a split personality,,most of the time he is fantastic, then he sets to playing and the red mist descends and off he goes. Nothing will stop him until he has had enough. This is now starting with other dogs on walks. He`ll play nicely then from out of nowhere, he goes mental. No warning, no grumbling, no growling, no teeth shown, not all lot of chance for me to try and calm the situation down and take his mind away from scrapping. Pup (and other dogs) thus far haven't been injured although pup does show many battle scars on his face.
I have changed his diet on someone`s advice which again, seemed to help for a month but back to square one!
Does pup need neutering to help with the quandary? Do I muzzle Bayliss? Do I change a diet again?
Any help would be great
