Last year my wife finally let me get a dog for the family. I'm a boxer lover so I got one. He's been absolutely perfect so far. He's 15 months right now and is set to get his man sack cut off next Friday.
I take him to the dog park around 5 times a week and he's alway been a big wuss. Basically plays really hard but if any dogs growl at him he tucks his tail and runs. He's had several times when a group of dogs would end up chasing him around and you could see the fear in his eyes. He's not small, in fact for a boxer he's pretty big. Righ now he's about 75lbs and the vet said he should be around 90 when it's said and done. He's very tall and just starting to fill out. Well last month I took him to the park and for the first time ever he had a little attitude. It wasn't with all of the dogs, most of them he just played with like normal. But there were two that if they came up to him he would basicall growl and chase them away or one kind of stood up to him and he ended up putting the dog on it's back.
My question is whether or not there's anything I can do for that? I'm hoping getting that when he's neutered it will take some of that away but I know my neighbor can't take his boxer because he attacks too many dogs. If I need to I'll get a trainer but I don't even know if they could do something for it. I know they'll tell me they can but can they really.
