Julia asked:
I have an unaltered ten month old beabull who until recently would have a ball at the park.
Recently (this past week or so ) Bigger dogs have started charging him.
On monday a free running black lab charged him while my dog was behind me and on a leash(owners came running after-wards, no apologies offered) I ended up kicking him away. My dod ended up getting a cut under his eye.
The next day I went to the park and a pit/boxer cross went straight for his neck while mine was busy playing with another dog. His owner responded appropriately and both our dogs calmed down.
Again today same thing with an older golden lab. What gives?
These dogs have been big breads whereas mine is medium sized. (one of which was just aggressive to all dogs, so i’m not counting)
My dog has never charged another dog, is non dominant, well trained, and has daily play sessions with other dogs, male and female and everything goes swimmingly.
He’s recently been to the vet and is in perfect health.
He will be neutered soon though I’m not sure this is the problem, only one of the dogs that attacked him was unaltered, and this morning brought it up to four
in the last two weeks.
Does very early spring bring out the crazy dogs (and their owners) or is there more that I should know? I’ve been going to this park every day for the last six months and this has got me worried, help.





One response to "10 Month old male dog keeps getting attacked?"
If your dog truly is being calm and submissive (non-dominant) then it must be that the other dogs aren’t properly balanced. If your dog truly is well trained, then the problem wouldn’t be your dog. Even though you feel that your dog isn’t putting out dominant energy, other dogs can sense that he isn’t neutered. You should definitely get your dog neutered as soon as possible. As for the other dogs, they sound like they are unconfident, dominant, and unbalanced. You could try going to another park instead. If that isn’t possible maybe you could make a light, non-obnoxious, comment to the owners about working with their dogs. Please continue to socialize and train your dog well, as well as get him neutered.
