1 Year old Bullterrier, behavior issues! getting worse with new puppy!!

PrisandMatty

Hello everyone, I am new on this forum. First time posting, my boyfriend and I have a 1 year old bullterrier. Mako, I moved to South Carolina to be with Matt and Mako, and visited once before. When I visited and still to this day Mako nips a lot and bites pretty hard!!! He actually broke skin this weekend which is why I am here. He doesn't do it out of anger though, only when he is really excited and happy to see me. He does it a bit with Matt as well but he really goes hard on me jumping and biting multiple times, even bites my hair and has ripped multiple shirts of mine. I am not sure what to do. We recently got a 13 week old Pitbull terrier, they get along great but he freaks out when we put them in their kennels to eat. He gets very aggressive snarls, barks, growls and bites at the cage and fingers if you touch it. We started feeding them in their kennels because of Makos aggression.


Any suggestions help! Has anyone been through this?

Hes overall a great loving dog, just needs some guidance I suppose.

Thanks!!!

Priscilla

Sounds like he's developing some bad dominance problems. This isn't uncommon for Bull Terriers that are going through a phase while in their adolescent stages. There are MANY other discussions on this Forum with similar stories about their young Bull Terrier showing signs of dominance and aggression.
In the event none of these past discussions help, please let me know. However, the advice provided on this topic has been brought up so many times that I think there may be a need to write a blog on it so a link can be attached as a response every time the subject is brought on by somebody new.
