Everything Under the Moon

I have a dog who can be very agressive to the other dogs in the house. He has even growled at people, almost always me, from time eo time. Just this morning, he attacked my little pug, who, thankfully was unharmed. I wondered if anyone knows of a chant or a spell of some kind that can reduse or stop dog agression. I am open minded, and would try a lot of things for this problem.
Thanks for any advice anyone might have.

"I am open minded, and would try a lot of things for this problem."

is getting rid of it an option?

If only that were an option. The dog belongs by all right to my mother, and she will not hear of it. The situation is extreamly complicated. I have told her to leet me give the dog to a farm, where he can run and burn off his agressive energy, but she won't agree.

You answered the problem your self. Your "moms"dog is aggresive towards family members and she does nothing. Let me guess it sleeps on her bed, doesnt like any one sitting with or hugging your mom and she love to cuddle it and give it treats often?

The dog regards its self as the alpha of the pack , when it is aggressive to you and your mom does nothing to stop it ( i hope to god she doesnt pick it up and make a fuss of it when it does ) it establishes its self as leader with the right to bite growl or chastise any member of the pack when it feels like it.

A spell or chant to stop your dog trying to act like the wolf it is might be hard. Its doing the right thing as far as it knows.
What you need is a good trainer, desexing if it hasent been done and time to let the dog know its at the bottom of the family.
It eats last, it sit on the floor, if it growls at or bites any one it goes to the basment to be on its own for a while.

Big note aggresive dogs are dangerous even though in most cases the dog does not mean harm injuries can and do occour, a dangerous dog must be seen by a vet or expert trainer.

that was my thought aswell Istaqa, im not usually a fan of just plain "getting rid" of an animal, but when other beings are in danger thenw why not. but Istaqa has given you what you need, the dog needs to be put in it's place or i fear it will take something of grave consequence for your mum to see whats goin on.

Yes. I think you're right. It will take something serious for something to get done about this. I knew all along that there is no hope of giving up the dog at this time, which is why I posted this, hoping for some other option. Thank you all for the advice though, and all of you are right. The dog just isn't all that good with other animals. Good news though... at least he has not done any growling at a human in a while.

Using a trainer is the best option for you I think but if money is a problem please let me know because I can point you in the direction of some great resources.

I know just what a dilemma this can be. Years ago my mother was given a rottweiler which she was in no way prepared to handle. I watched in horror as she allowed this dog to get away with dominant behavior toward her and others. I tried to tell her she was making a mistake, but she blew me off. She felt that I had been "mean" when I resorted to a choke collar to gain control over one of my dobes who was fighting me for dominance. (I didn't like doing it, but I got her as a half-grown dog who hadn't been handled well and I was working with a professional trainer at the time.) Ultimately, my mother ended up having this dog put down when it finally bit HER! Fortunately, it wasn't as serious of injury as it could have been with a full-grown rottweiler (although several stitches were required) but I still felt terrible because I knew it was going to happen and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I felt terrible for the dog, too. She was a beautiful dog who had all the potential in the world if she had just been handled well.

Now, aggression toward other dogs is a different problem. I believe there are some breeds that simply can't be trained out of displaying aggression toward other dogs. In that case, it's just simpler to leave your dog at home.

i've had a similar experience to that. my mum's first malamute dominated out house, and the way my mum let it do whatever it wanted only perpetuated the behaviour, she would let it into my little brothers room to "choose a toy" and it hated me lol but luckily i only got jumped on, my little brother was the one to get bit, it wasnt bad but enough for my mum to see what was going on with him.

I wish there was another name for those. People jump on the name and think they are cruel but the dog is in control of the pressure and soon learns that when it pulls too hard it feels uncomfortable, better than a 100pd out of control dog dragging some one down the road.

I went through Bark Busters AMAZING!
