Or in my case a 3 year old pitt bull mix.
As a puppy I babied Angus BIG MISTAKE. I thought that being nice to him and socializing him would help with the whole attack factor. He did good, until he encountered and Old lady yelling and shaking her finger at my nephew. Angus went into protective mode and sent the woman to the ER as a result. He is also extremely scared and nervous about everything. They say dogs take after their owners but is it too late to change his behavior? Or do i have to change mine so he can't tell when I'm nervous or high strung? If anyone has had a problem with their pooch and what I like to call "selective hearing" please help me find a solution. His skittishness must end. He's not a pit bull...he's a puss bull.
