    lab wants to attack and bite

    I have a 1yr old chocolate lab his name is nitro,this is my third lab but my first chocolate we got him as a pup and is a good dog every other way except he will attack and bite males if they come to house.If he is on lease he is fine I walk him in crowds and if he knows you he is fine,also with my grandchildren he is a mush.The other day my brother came to house and got out of car he only seen him one other time I thought he would be ok so I said its ok he want right at him hair standing up and tried to bite him bad? he would not stop on my command I had to grab him and he was still growling.Now keep in mind my brother is not scared of him and called his name to come to him.I have a shock coller for him but I don't want him to get loose and bite someone any help would be great never had to deal with this with any I my dogs and we love him so much...ED

    hire a good reputable experienced behaviorist/trainer NOW. it will be very hard to give you legitimate, good advice on such a serious issue online without assessing the dog.

    please ditch the ecollar, if you dont know exactly what you are doing you cna make him MORE agressive very fast.

    +1 on going to seek help! Call a local shelter or vet and see if they have someone that they recommend. As Tanya said ditch the ecollar.
