Anti-social rescue

    Hi,

    I'm just wondering if any of you have any suggestions on how to go about socializing a dog aggressive male. I have him since early january and I've tried introducing him to other males but with no joy. He's fine with the ladies but he bites the men.

    Would it be a bad idea to muzzle him and another male and just leave them out together?
    Let them at it and ware themselves out?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    any dog training classes in your area? i dont think ''letting them at it'' would help very much, plus paws and claws could do damage even if you muzzle him, in my opinion some structured training with a person who has expierence in this type of behaviour would be your best bet

    Is he neutered?if not that could be why he is only aggresive with other males?

    He is neutered. That was one of the first questions for the rescue center.
