And the only way to do it is to kick their butts, Dogs are tough, but as long as you don't overdo it and injure them it may be the only way. I had a Rottweiler Beagle mix (Czech Bear Dog) that would pretty much eat you if he didn't know you. His only saving grace is he liked children. If he screwed up it could be life and death. I was his leader and disciplinarian and believe me he needed periodic reminders, the alternative was a catastrophe. He was a dope dog reject, he was rejected for being overly aggressive. Hell of a Hog dog, strong nose dog, good tracking instincts and would take on a whole sounder in a thicket. If you walked up on him and he didn't know you and you gave him a pet pet you'd be lucky to get your hand back.
