Yes, I was wondering what would become of this situation long term. It seemed, IMO, that a dog this serious about being dominant would need more than one training session with Ceasar....I am glad Elkoorr brought that subject up. The owners appeared to take it lightly...I would have been floored to witness that behavior in my own dog.....Thats just me...

Deanna, half, or most of the problem is the owners. I know if I had that dog from a pup, it wouldn't have gotten to that point. These people probably let the dog on the furniture and bed.
These are the type of people I want to foster my pups until they are 6 months old. Baby the hell out of em and let em run the house.

I did feel lacking in leadership especially in showing the consequences of behaviour with my dog. Not knowing how to correct was my main problem. As she was my first GSD, I initially resorted for help in overcoming the dominant/ aggressive issue with other dogs. She seem fine with dogs that do not show interest in her or her presence, just those that display fear or aggression. As I live in the suburbs, I meet quite afew dogs of various nature. It was a real struggle in the beginning, the constant corrections doesn’t seem to make it better but instead tended to focus her more to other dogs.
So I diss the idea of socialising and decided to work the problem out with her in a positive manner. Since she is possessive with her toys, I started focus training. Gosh it was painstaking 2 years but has given us both alot of slack. Basically teaching her to ignore other dogs. Still I would not trust her to walk pass a dog on her own but have her by my side off leash. When a dog approaches, she is placed on a down and loosely held by the collar until after the sniff & go from the other dogs.
So my question is: By teaching the dog to ignore other dogs is it sufficient in tackling the dominant/aggressive issue? Or Is correction the real solution to the dominant/aggressive issue? Humm…
I so miss going to the forest but fear of bumping into other dogs.

All I can say is... I am thankful our GSD doesn't pull this crap. That's clear-cut aggression, not dominance. The dog is freaked out.

Xenos, this doesnt cut it :) We expect you to elaborate! If you are referring to the wolfdog what signs do tell you that this is clear cut aggression and the WD is freaked out?
