I don't know Keith, I certainly would not do that to a strange dog, or one I have not raised. But all this e-collar, pro trainer stuff to me ,not for me.
If I have to tip toe around a dog, or worry that I will be mauled by a dog that thinks he is going to try to dominate me, that dog would be out of here quicker than shit.
My dogs "live with me", and by my rules. I am the boss. They may call me on it once, possibly twice, but that's it.
Why would anyone want a dog that they have to fight for their authoritive position?

Ctidmore,
You make a good point as well and I have thought about it. THe wood is from an outside pile that he frequently marks when let out. it is stacked against the fence and quite possible the neighbors lab marked it from outside the perimeter.
Kitkat,
I dont disagree with you at all. I have had seriously dominant/aggressive dog before and it came to a physical fight btwn us on a couple occasions. Dog was a piece of shit and just became to much of a liablilty for me and my business. Having to tiptoe and or fight a strong dog is no way to live and resulted in me being hospitalized before the dog was relocated.
Thanks you both

What about contacting the breeder? Sounds like you might have something that is creating aggression, hearing about your past dog. Just a thought.

Rob, you might found the answer to your problem yourself. Move the wood stack so the Lab cant mark on it. Your dog is might as well just confused about everything. A good chance he smells the Labs mark in the house; unacceptable to him. Your wife correcting him for "protecting his territory" caused confusion, and in his mind an unfair act. You say that he is a more submissive dog, your wife maybe has over-corrected him unknowingly at some point as it appears that he trusts you more than her. Move the wood and see if that stops the marking.
For the annoyance barking on the boot, get a good bark collar. Thats immediate correction vs 1sec late correction, and keeps you both more relaxed. You might inadvertenly trained in a negative behavior with it. Per example, your wife maybe said No when he is barking, you try to correct him with the e-collar, at the moment of stimulus he looks at your wife, which translates in Wife=negative feeling.
