Without knowing more about his behaviour it is difficult to make suggestions, but it does sound as if he needs training classes and/or a dog behavourist.
Hes not a dominant dog, he is actually very submissive. This has only started happening in the past 3 weeks, and has progressivly gotten worse. Normally hes a good boy! But gee, so stubborn :lol:
I may not have any other choice than a behaviourist if he keeps it up....or a new home!
Oh by the way, he is 5 years old
