we've had problems with murphy being aggressive to stangers. he actually tried to bite someone last weekend. i think he is very protective of my husband and i, and he also has fear aggression. (we think). we are thinking about using a muzzle when he is around stangers. what does everyone think about this? we are trying everything we can to keep him. we are really worried b/c he is so unpredictable, and i don't want him to hurt anyone. what is your advice on muzzles and just the entire situation?

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear its getting worse. Did you get ahold of that guy from True Grit??


I don't know about the muzzles, someone else can probably help you more in that area.

If you really want to solve this issue, why are you bandaiding the problem. Go see a trainer who can assess his temperment. If it is fear aggression.........hallmark of unpredictabiltiy.........put him down before someone gets hurt.

muzzle.........that is not even a solution. Can you muzzle him 24/7?

Seems like you already know the answer.

You need the Dog Whisperer

Is this your first dog? Check out the Dog Whisperer on tv. Sounds like you need some help. It is amazing how watching a few episodes of his show will help you.


It worked for me,
