1- how many times i should say : the dog is very sweet and he will never is never aggressive with anybody , in fact his favorite place in the neighbourhood is to go into a hair salon so all the women there pet him! but it seems that all of you got this idea that he is aggressive just by barking at an asshole on the street! not sure why you keep bringing this up
2- will he be aggressive in the future???? who knows... i have the best pro trainer for him in the country and he will be training him for guard soon. he is an independent breed and will guard when he thinks he should. we will focus on training him to do so when we ask him to and not to attack unless asked to.
3- you keep saying i cannot control him ... the fact is i can...he is a puppy and i can control him as much as one can control any puppy . puppies sometimes can be difficult. on top of that he is CAO i cannot turn him into a cavalier kC ..if i wanted a Cavalier i would have got one!
4- yes he bit me once ...i was annoying trying to put drops in his ear....my 8 years old bichon bit me for the same reason! but he never did it again when i put drops in his ears...which shows he is learning
5- i can take a bone out of his mouth and he never ever bites !
6- after all he is a guardian dog and he will be hard to train...but i am doing my best. and yes i was proud of him yesterday he showed spirit and i would not kill that in him.
The point is not to kill that spirit. It's to channel it so that he only does it when a threat is real.
When he is grown you won't be able to physically control him. A dog like a CAO, I don't care if the person holding the leash is a 300 lb body builder, they will not be able to physically overpower the dog.
I do think it's great that you're socializing him so much, and that he's learning what is normal and good human behavior and what normal non threatening people act like. It's not necessarily a bad thing that he barked at that guy, the point is that he should have stopped when you told him to.
You never need to tell a dog like that
when to defend you. They just will and that's why people get them. You will need to tell them when NOT to defend you, and he needs to listen.
I know you say dog bites are not a big deal in your country, but they are a big deal. A CAO can easily kill an adult human. It's not worth losing a human life because your dog doesn't respect you.
Also, the bite was a big deal and at the same time it wasn't. I would never ever do that to him again. It's a really good example of why you shouldn't use physical corrections or try to physically overpower a LGD. There are a few situations where I personally excuse dog bites.
1. Dog is defending their home, family, or self from a threatening person
2. Dog is sick or injured
3. Dog is a mom with puppies
Volka fit under 1 and 2 when he bit you.
I'll admit, one of my borzois got their leg hung up in a wire fence when they were 6 months old. They were dangling by the leg and screaming and screaming. I ran over and untangled them, and they bit the crap out of my arms and hand. No bites ever since then. The situation fit under criteria 2.
