Thanks for this great explaination. I used almost or vertially the same methods you provided and my dog is now very nice and not as whining and aggressive as before.

I have recently gotten a 6 mo old pitt bull and he is a sweetie. He was neutered last week and all went well. I have, however, read that these dogs may get aggressive towards small animals around 8 months of age. That worries me because he is somewhat overly interested in my cats! He hasn’t hurt them, but Simba (neutered male cat) doesn’t put up w/ any of his crap and will smack him right on the nose! I don’t want this to escalate…anything special I should do to be proactive in this situation? thanks.

This has spoken to my exact experience. Finn is a rescue Chi/somethin and he was labeled a barker at the shelter (my assumption was a little yapper at my front screen all day long) He was in two shelters for over 3 months. He is approx 2 years old. his little face spoke to me and he was so gentle and mellow, UNTIL….. DOG!!!!!!! He’s So sweet with people I take him to work with me every day, he’s our ‘WalMart greeter’, great with kids and old folks, young men, everyone. But let a dog walk by our salon window and he looses his ever-lovin mind. I mean crazy time. Tail waggin but barking incessantly, he makes himself hoarse! Cats? don’t get me started. I’ll try your techniques and let you know how it goes. We have used a spray bottle in the kisser a couple times, is that effective? thanks D
