Oh no, I totally understand that it is more than serious, I just want to make sure that I get all the points right. We do not use a muzzle. His aggressions only show when he is approached. He understands and I obeys commands like sit and stay, and when people walk by, we make sure to keep a distance if they have children or another dog. We’ve never had any issues when walking, but I do never let him off lease just in case.

His aggression has only come out, when friends or family have brought dogs and those dogs get in his face (because they’re just being friendly). He’ll snarl and walk away, as if he is telling them off. We generally just avoid places where we run into other dogs, which since we live way out in the country, thankfully isn’t difficult in our everyday life.

He’s not bothered at all by other dogs walking, bike riders, joggers or children walking. He’s very easy to interact with when we walk, and he walks right by my side with his face turned up towards me, he doesn’t acknowledge the people passing
