Question
My 10 mth old english bulldog is terrorizing my house. My children can't sit on the floor because he jumps on them, humps them, and has even bitten them. The thing is I don't know if its aggression or rough play. He is good and calm sometimes but other times he is out of control. He will bite your pants and not let go. I am thinking of neutering him in hopes it will calm him down.We have tried many different things, but nothing affects him. I fear that if neutering doesn't help I will have to find him a home with older kids(or no kids). Please help. I always wanted a bulldog because of their rep for being calm and great with families why is mine so out of control!!???

Answer
Oh Nicole!  I feel so bad for your dog and the entire family - Yes, you need some help now.  The neutering will help a bunch, good idea.
You also need a behavioral trainer to come to your home and his turf.
Please call your local vet offices  and ask them who they recommend for home training.  Tell them you need someone good but also reasonable priced.  Explain your problem and they may be able to match you up with the perfect help!

Please don't delay on this.  Now is the time to get his behavior under control.  Make sure you find a trainer that can come to the home and work with the entire family.

BEST wishes on this!
