Grrrrrr....

Bloo is the soppiest dog ever, he loves kisses and cuddles, he loves to play and bound around.
We were having bloo neutered few mmonths back but found out if im showing him to not, so he is uneutered. Thinking about not showing so get him neutered.
Ive noticed on the park when hes playing with othr dogs he runs n grabs their collar to pin them down....he doesnt hurt them but kind of squishes them, and sometimes. If another dog tell him off bloo used to back down, but now he is starting tto stand up n growl back! At agility theres a really vicous dog which snarls n everything, bloo and i walked past to try the tunnel when bloo growled at the other dog as if threatening back, so i pulled the lead in and refocused his mind...
He wouldnt fight, he has been attacked by lots of dogs on park and he comes running tail between legs scrreahing! I dont no why hes started being like this...but i want to snap him out of it before it gets worse. Yesterday i was playing in the garden with the ball, when he dropped it i walked away to get something else to play with, i walk to the grass n bloo runs up to me growling n nipping and jumping at me. If he had that chance im sure i wouldnt hav an arm, instewd im left with bruises... He is being very unpredictable at the moment, is he going through male periods or is he being dominant, never before has he been like this.
He chased a girl around the park yesterday(she was running and screaming) scared of bloo, he didnt but i had this huge fear in the vack of my mind that he was gonna knock her down! phew....

The trainer said i can read bloo and know his thoughts, and i do, and im really nervous about loosing him off llead now when other dogs are on the park, maybr im just paranoid, mom saidi need to b more confident.... ;)
whats worse having an unpredictable, aggresive dog, or a submissive dog that will get beaten up in dog scraps?! If ever he gets himself into a fight with another uneutered male, bloo would get ripped up.

I would control him on the lead when around other dogs, he is finding his feet, don't forget you have to be in control, if he doesn't come to your command around other dogs then get him on the lead, he'll only get bigger and needs to be checked now, if a child got bitten/savaged as the parents would interpret a nip then you could loose him, as for other dogs they can be as unpredictable to their owners as ours can be to us, ask yourself do you have the confidence to step in and break up a fight?

If you are unsure about showing talk to someone in the UK on all that entails (travel costs etc) and whether you and your family can fullfill it.

As well as your trainer talk to your Vet about his behaviour, get all the advice you can and make it fit with your circumstances.
