I have an 8month old Boerboel. Playful, very very energetic and extremely alert.
Lately, I've noticed his aggressive towards 3members of the family. This just started new. He barks, wants to attack like they're strangers etc.

They are the saboteurs and black sheep's of your family.my candid advice, put them on watch list.

I'd suspect them if I were you. Or perhaps he doesn't like them

My friend plse don't trust those people ur dog doesn't trust..it dislike them for a reason..i presently have seen a case like that too with my dog

The dog sees them as weak members of the family. It thinks they are below him. You need to correct that early by reintroducing and allowing the family members dominate/domineer over it in your presence

Oh please save it..

The only person allowed to 'boss' the dog is the owner not any family member. You want him to allow just any one bully the dog in the name of dominance? The dog will only become a timid dog. The dog is doing a good job by being aggressive.

My dog, also barks and growls at my partner for 3 months until they finally got along. I did not 'dominate' my dog neither did my partner do that nonsense. The dog is doing his job. So Mr man, do your job by being wise


Besides,

DOGS NEVER ATTEMPT TO RULE OR DOMINATE OVER ANY MAN! PEOPLE SHOULD STOP THIS NONSENSE ABOUT DOMINATING AN INNOCENT DOG. IF YOU WANT TO BE KING PLEASE CONTEST FOR PRESIDENCY OR GO ESTABLISH A COMPANY AND BE BOSS.

RUBBISH.

Who's talking the rubbish? What fvckery is all this gibberish?

it's obvious you can only speak at your level of reasoning and experience. I'm only replying you so that the Op and others can learn.....

So you think your dog warming up to your partner alone makes it an ideal guard dog? How do you know police and dogs in the forces are best trained? What you have is an unsocialised and threatened dog.

Dogs, just like wolves only recon and relate with its "Pack".
It's obvious you know nothing abt domineering or dominating a dog?. Even chickens have their pecking order and humans have their social system. I'm sure you were trained to be civil and not just talk to or attack pple who are not your parents anyhow. You only fight if someone goes beyond the permitted social norms to threaten you or others close to you. You dare not challenge family members and others older than you. That's how domineering and dominating works in the human society That's how it shld be with dogs also since they live among us . They are the least in any family and shld be treated as such.

The bold part of your post is wrong, otherwise the dog should be warm to all family members and only wary of suspicious strangers. The Op specified that just 3 members of the family are involved. You shld have asked yourself why that?. You mentioned innocent dog in your post and you want it to be cool with only the owner?
There are a lot of materials online on Canine Psychology. Read them.

Maybe when you grow up and have kids you'll understand why the dog shld see your kids as higher in the "pack" than it. You only have one dog and you think that's all? What happens when you have 3 or more?

Good day.

Shut up...

I never said, my dog warms up to my partner alone. He growls at EVERYBODY!.

I repeat, no one is allowed boss the dog except the owner no one else.

Dogs are not wolves. Get that In your cheap head. You obviously have no idea about dogs.

For your information, I have kids at home. So you are not as wise as you think. Do you even have a dog at all?

If a dog is cold with you at home, check yourself and try to get closer to the dog if the owner allows and see the dog become your friend overtime. So go and learn more or let me say, go and get a dog and stop reading books or watching TV.

In saner climes, the so called dominance is illegal so you know. If it's okay, they won't make it illegal. I live with 4 powerful dogs in my home so I definitely know what I'm talking about. I'm not against bossing your dog but YOUR DOG not someone else's dog. How can I allow another family member dominate my dog? are they the one feeding it? nah dem buy am? my dog? my money? even the dog will be disappointed.

Get the point here, you don't dominate a dog that isn't yours or let me say, a dog you don't take care of. Show love to a dog and see the dog love and respect you. He won't dominate you. Just try it and see.

Don't mind the guy.. Some people be doing as if they know everything. If u check him now he may not even have a dog at all in his house and he is running his fingers typing dust. Na him type dog dey bite well well.

Would you allow another person bully your dog in the name of dominance? Wouldn't you rather investigate deeply what your dog has against the person he is always barking at? Isn't that more civil than brutalizing the dog?
