My one year old German shepherd mix breed is reactive to strangers in our house. He is mostly fine with people in public and will even lean into people for pets. But in our home he acts aggressively towards unfamiliar people.
My in laws stayed for a week and he never warmed up towards them. His pupils dilate and he gets low with his hackles up he looks quite scary. Today my brother walked in unannounced and he bit his hand. We normally crate him if we’re expecting anyone.
We socialized him well, but we don’t often have guests so he rarely met people in our house. I’m at a loss on how to fix this. I have kids and they know to crate him before anyone comes in the house, but I’m really worried they’ll forget and he’ll bite someone.
My 3 year old mix is the same way, at this point we just keep him crated when people come :/
