Adolescence brings a big shift in behavior. I remember the kits that came through our kitchen when mama was an Audubon volunteer.Mine's name was Peppi & he went rogue right about the time he hit a year old.
Had to teach him how to forage & then released him in the Everglades.

I also have 2 cats and just found a young Persian kitty thats been hanging around my house i want to be sure i know how to establish they arent preyFeed healthy high protein food.

My bad on the delay. It is not the breed. It is the owner. My mutt is less friendly than most.i know plenty of folks that believe the stereotypes about pitties being aggressive killers, i want to have a super well behaved pup.

I consensiously and intentionally kept our Boerboel from being fully socialized. I don't want him to like everyone and I do want him to bark at strangers. He definitely makes people take notice and I catch them looking for an "out" should they perceive the need for one.My bad on the delay. It is not the breed. It is the owner.

Cats being food is avoided by bringing puppy in after the cats are established. They will train the dog with you reminding it that they are "Mine!". LOL.
Consistency and single word commands.
Best wishes.
And I have the ultimate security dog. Scares me seriously. Wish the world could enjoy the big baby under the fur. Yet my verbal commands around people sound menacing still by intent.

He is just one layer of my family protection plan, but he's a damn big and imposing one.
