lol your dog is still 5 months right?
when it's mature you're the one that'll be begging him to not attack cheesy
I can still give you pointers tho, although don't expect much from a 5 month old pup.
my number is on the thread, I just posted it recently, feel free to WhatsApp me wink

the dog is still very young at 5 months, some take longer before they show aggression.
the breed is naturally aggressive, all you have to do is wait for your dog to mature

the aggression will come with time, you guys are expecting too much from puppies.
and walking 2 times a week doesn't make a dog meek.
it's even good to frequently socialise a puppy to prevent nervousness or fear aggression.
when a dog isn't well balanced, it's aggression will be less reckless.
do you think all those dogs you see that work with the military and help take down criminals are locked up or chained all day for them to be aggressive like that?
restricting your dog from the world and letting it grow on a chain turns the dog into a very unstable threat to people both innocent and evil.
fear aggression is not good aggression and it doesn't make a dog a good guard dog.
allow your pup to mature naturally

if you and Greenarrow01 need some tips I used to boost Roscoe's guard instincts I can help too.

the instincts will manifest naturally but their are some small trainings you can do with the dog to make it respond more aggressively to intruders.
it works better when the dog has already started showing signs of aggression tho

For some days now I've been finding fur all around my house and compound and immediately I knew the culprit.
I haven't been able to groom him for about 2weeks now but the amount of fur I combed out surprised me, I had to even sweep clumps of fur out of my bathroom after bathing him and pull out some from the drain.
the one on the pic is just the fur I combed out from his body cheesy
his puppy fur is finally gone lol, he has been shedding them off heavily for some time now and I think this is close to the last one because the puppy fur is almost completely gone.

I try to comb him once a week to prevent matts and tangles and it works, if the detached fur isn't there to tangle with the new one then his fur will be free and neat.
sometimes when I'm free or bored I just call him and run a comb through his fur.

when the fur comes out longer comb it instead, combing it will detangle the ones that are already tangled and remove the detached fur too.
start preparing yourself for your dog's shedding season ooh grin
it's good as you regularly brush his fur, it'll make grooming him easier for you, mine wasn't groomed in 2 weeks during his shedding period that's why the fur came out like that cheesy

i have worked on his character and he's improved it only took more socialising and more obedience training. now he doesn't have food,fear or dog aggression
he's still very aggressive and territorial he's just more organized and obedient.
there is a new thing he started doing where he just attacks strangers that enter the compound without barking, he only does that when he's free, if he's in his kennel then he will raise an alarm while literally trying to claw his way to the stranger.
if he's free he just attacks the person without any warning he won't even bark at the person sef ;p. now he always has to be locked up when people come around. surprisingly he is friendly with people outside the compound, he only reacts aggressively if they shout at me or move too fast towards me, he sees it as a threat and he will growl or attack depending on how you do it.
he is also very friendly with the family, he is ready to play with you till you're tired, most times I can't even keep up with his energy because his legs never hesitate before they leave the ground ;p 1second he's on top you or jumping up to catch something.
You have a great command of words. Excellent diction
My very first experience with a Boerboel too... She was pedigree and well socialized. She played tirelessly with me in front of the house even as I was a stranger to her, and I was convinced I was accepted into her pack. So I thought. Her owner was returning her to the company and I wanted to accompany them. She pulled against her leash as she entered through the gate, turned and waited for her alpha to enter. She was giving me a stern look but I didn't pay much attention. I was about to step in when she charged at me while giving out some growls. The owner had to pull hard against the leash to prevent an attack. Then there came this noisy unending barks with several attempts to test her biting force on me while giving off some deadly growls. The perplexed owner and clueless me were so lost as to the reason for the sudden action. The summary was,she was territorial. She only does that when in her territory. Outside it, she is as harmless as a dove

I've also started walking him for an hour every morning before going to work.
I wake up and take him out by 5am, come back by 6am then get ready to start my day grin
it's good exercise for two of us and he loves it, in fact, he waits at the gate now every morning once he hears the door open.

I've also taught him how to walk off-leash during these walks. he doesn't do it perfectly but at least he knows to follow me when I'm walking away.
most times the roads are empty at this time but sometimes we see other people going there way too, he always growls at them anytime they stare too much or start walking towards us.
if the person walks directly towards us he barks and charges at them so I always put him on leash anytime I hear someone coming.
on a usual walk during the day or evening he doesn't act like this tho, I guess it has something to do with the quiet and darkness that makes him more alert and suspicious of people.
regularly, when I walk him he just ignores people and goes with me.

And also, he's going to finally turn 1year old next week Sunday grin
his attitude from when he was younger has already changed, it's like his aggression is now x3.
he even scares me sometimes because he's very childish and playful to the family but once someone he doesn't know walks in, it only takes a split second for him to switch and start behaving like a wild animal, saliva even pours out of his mouth when he's snarling and barking.
I don't have any issue with it tho, as far as he doesn't act like that towards the family, he's well balanced to me.

And from next week I'm going to finally take him off diamond dry puppy food.
I'm planning on putting him on a home cooked diet consisting off grinded millet, Guinea corn, soyabean, groundnut, dry fish and egg shells.
I'm planning to mix it with rice and molding it into balls so he can eat it with the okro soup I'll be preparing for him with chicken.
I'm still open to more recipes if you have any, except indomie(he doesn't digest it well).
I'm just hoping the results with be good so I can fully move him to it permanently.
He ought not to be attacking strangers when off leash. You have done a great job though achieving this even at a time devoid of people, trust me I know it's lot of work for hyper active dogs . I have tried it but to no success (the dog wasn't mine though, guess I didn't have enough time to do so, even though the dog and I really bonded well). A starting point is a regularly crowded place, but at a time not crowded, maybe l late at night or early hours of the day.
I used be an active participant on Petland before now, but I now have ither distractions but one I can never forget is a thread created by LordRegalia. He is a great personality here on Nland and TBE, with his Terrifc expertise in Boerboels. You can learn a thing or two on his thread is you spend a lil of your time there. He is an accomodating fellow

he does the exact same thing that boerbel does too cheesy
once he's inside the compound, people he'd let get close to him and even touch him outside are gonna get attacked if they try to enter.
their was a time I took him out to see a friend that had 3 dogs so he could socialize with them. after we were done(we spent several house there), my friend escorted us back home and even walked him on the road.
when we got home, I left him outside with my friend to get something inside the house then after a few moments I started hearing barking and my friend calling my name cheesy when I ran back outside I saw that my friend was about locking him in his kennel, when I entered inside then he turned on my friend and tried to attack him. fortunately, he was already inside the kennel when he turned back so my friend was pressing the kennel door shut while Roscoe was barking and trying to get to him grin

ah thanks a lot I'll read the thread wink
I still think he's going to attack people if he's offleash tho, anytime I'm walking him around that time he's usually very alert and self conscious, once someone starts walking on the street he'll know and start waiting to attack the person if the person does anything suspicious.
I think maybe it's because of the time I walk him, when I walk him during the day he's more laid back and relaxed esp when there's a crowd.
when it's dark, if he sees anyone carrying a torch, running, or carrying something like a bag or stick or even umbrella as a suspect and he growls at them, even if they're coming behind us he'll wait and turn back to stare and growl at them until I wait for them to pass and go far away from us.
if the person shouts or runs, he attacks them, even if I raise my voice at them he attacks.
I don't trust him off leash around people so he won't hurt someone thinking he's defending me.
he also does this during car rides, he doesn't let anyone close to the car, he'll put his head at the window and bark, anyone that comes too close to the car or touches it will get barked at. the worst is if you put your hand through the window or try to open the door cheesy.
sometimes when we go out we leave him in the car (with the windows down and the car parked in a shade of course) with confidence that the car is safe cheesy
for now, I only take the leash off when the road is empty, once I notice he's stopped walking and he's staring and growling at the distance, I know someone is coming and I put the leash back on.
and upon all my pleas with people not to stare at us or run or even flash torch at us, they still do those things which in turn will trigger him to see them as dangerous, the people that just mind there business and walk past, he ignores them(he'll just stare at them till they go).
I just feel like he's protective and territorial, not everyone will understand that they're the one's making him see them as dangerous, if an accident should occur I'll be the one to carry the blame despite all my warnings so I'm just trying to keep him away from people who don't know how to act around dogs(which is virtually every one in my area cheesy)
I'll still check out the thread tho, I usually let him walk off leash when it's very early and the road is empty so I'll still need it, thanks a lot bro

Haq haq haq. If you ask me, he is just being a dog.... Watching you back. It's amazing to process this.... You see a terrifying dog and you get scared, yet the owner tells you not to worry, don't run, stay calm. Put yourself in the shoes of someone that doesnt know much about canine communication, isn't that madness? Unfortunately things they do when scared,triggers the canine instinct, and attack is imminent on the long run. It's a loop effect.
The dog is being a good dog, watching your back. So anyone approaching fast, is a a potential threat. Anyone holding something is holding a "weapon". Anyone you raise your voice at in his presence, is a threat, etc. It is important you yourself are not scared cos your dog can sense it... Owing to the fact that you must have bonded.... And that can triggered his instincts to protect you from anyone drawing close.
You are doing a good job. Keep it up bro. I will take a rest sit and follow updates
