    Is there anything I can do about this? He's fine with big dogs and female dogs but often attacks other small male dogs. He's a rescue dog and has done this since we got him a few months ago. He's neutered and has a very happy home with us. Outside of this behaviour he's the sweetest dog in the world, great with people and kids. Is there anything I can do? It's getting a bit much walking him now, I'm afraid he's going to harm a dog someday :(

    The first thing you need to do is buy a muzzel for him , then call dog training ireland , if they are too far away to help they may know some one closer that can help

    If he is attacking other dogs the lasts thing you want to do is bring him straight into a class full of other dogs , apart from anything else not trainer worth their salt will allow him in a class untill the agression issues have been delt with
