I have a 2 1/2 year old English Bulldog mix. I know that english bulldogs are very lazy and not so aggressive, so I have no clue what he's mixed with. He's very aggressive at times and barks a lot. He isn't allowed indoors or he'll chew up everything. So whenever we go out to the backyard he sees us and will bark and bark until someone pets him. He barks at every child as well, so when the nephews visit they can't play outside. Although he gets very loud, he is still a sweet dog and has never bit anyone. I would love to take him out for walks but he is extremely strong and would drag me. My brother tried to walk him a few times but the walk turns into a full speed run. I'm also scared he'll break the leash and take off running. So I'm wondering about how much would it cost to train him? Is it too late? Do classes actually work compared to those boarding schools?
...I have also read online that dogs can get like this when they are ignored as puppies. He was my older brothers dog until about a year ago. And since my brother worked a lot, I'm sure this might have caused his behavior.
