My 7mnth old Mini Schnauzer has anxiety and aggression problems. Had them since I picked him up from the breeder. What avenue do I go down first? Behaviorist? Board and Train? Please help.

I would have Guiseppe seen by a professional behavioral expert. It would be good for you to be involved in his training as well so you can see what techniques the expert is using to apply at home as well. You can also learn what you should and shouldn't do with him to help stop this behavior. I would speak to your vet about a referral to a professional behavior expert. Good on you for wanting to address and correct this behaviors!
