My dog, Tequila, is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. She's a good size, easy to snuggle and cuddle with. She is a pretty bright dog too, considering she learned her name as an adult in less than 3 months. She will let you hold her, pull her tail or ears, and blow in her ear, and she won't bite you. All she wants is for you to pet her...Sounds like a pretty perfect dog right?
Not exactly.
Since we got her she's been developing aggression towards other dogs. Additionally she will go crazy on a leash when outside and ignore all commands to hunt like a wild beast. Just today we tried to take her to Town Lake for a calming walk around the beautiful scenery, but that attempt was cut short due to Tequila's atrocious manners and disregard. I am contemplating taking her to a dog manners class, because I really hate a non-social, aggressive, leash-tugging dog that I can't take anywhere public. Bao argues that it's innate, because she's a wolf inside. But if it was innate, why aren't all the other dogs at Town Lake acting like this too??

Hey yo. Bao's right; dogs are wolves and have wolf-pack mentalities. What that means is that you need to establish yourself as the wolfpack leader, so you can easily control Tequila's mental state during walks and such. Check out Cesar Millan's show dog whisperer or his website to show how he tames dogs with poor social behavior.
