1 year old male EBT

Hi all,

I have a 14month old English Bull Terrier, hes still intact and im having a few attitude issues with him.
For my partner hes a good boy & does as he is told firs time, for me its a different story!!
He barks at me, he drags me around on walks & defintely has no recall with me, hes now started biting me.. like a nip but as we know these dogs hurt!
He jumps at me and me and bites my leg, arm fingers whatever he can get too!! he did a similar thing when he was about 6mths old but it stopped and now its back.. i dont know if he is attention seeking? has anyone had this issue before? how did you handle it?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Steph

He is already hurting you. Just stand your ground and keep him in check. Once they get an inch, they take a mile. Just correct him with firm and direct commands. Don't be afraid to correct and ignore him for about 15 minutes. This is a way to show him that you are the boss. They love your attention. So ignoring them hurts their feelings. If you react to his aggression with this. He will put 2 and 2 together and start being what you want. It takes time and patience. A lot of it.

All the best. Consistency is the key. Keep it all the same every time.
