Why does my dog bite and act aggressive, especially when angry?

Question

Hello.... I am from india maharashtra.He is now two years and 6 months old. I exactly don't know his breed because I found him on street and he was in bad condition so I took him to my house . But he somewhat looks like retriever and cross breed. The problem with him is he often bites us not like street dogs but barks and try to catch us in anger. 2 days before when I took him to walk he got released from chain and when I tried to catch him he bite me. So can u tell me why does he do that? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 40 lbs

Unfortunately, aggression toward people and biting is a very serious, complicated situation that usually requires the help of a trainer or behaviorist in person. It can be from a number of reasons including underlying illness or pain, being undersocialzied which leads to fear or confusion and biting, or even just general aggression. I would first recommend bringing Goldy to a vet to have a complete exam and to rule out any health issues that may be causing him pain or illness and thus cause biting. If he checks out healthy, it would be in your best interest to try and find a local trainer or behaviorist in your area that can work with you in person to both find the cause of his biting, and to start working on in it in a safe environment.
