Question
was teased by child 6 years ago.Now very aggressive to kids.Will this ever get better?

Answer
I don't know what you mean by "teased" by a child.  And I need to know what you mean by "aggressive". (Barking?  Lunging?  Biting?)

What were the circumstances?  What did the child do?  Do you have children and is this a daily problem?  Obviously this is a fear response and there are training methods to deal with it.



If you can explain a little further I may be able to offer some solid suggestions.

Health, nutrition, training. Please note: I used to highly recommend Innova products but, unfortunately, as with Canidae, they have sold out to Proctor & Gamble. This guarantees lower quality to a dangerous point so I will no longer be advising anyone to buy it.

20 years of owning this breed.
