Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Usually these behaviors can be corrected but this usually requires in person training by a qualified dog trainer. I recommend you consider hiring a qualified dog trainer to work with you in person. Good luck and have a good day!

It sounds like Icy wants to be the boss of everyone! I’m sorry you are dealing with this. He is still young enough that there is hope to Change his behavior, but it is going to take a lot of work. If you really want him to improve then I would contact your veterinarian for a recommendation for a veterinary behaviorist in your area. If there isn’t one then you lr veterinarian can recommend a good trainer. They will evaluate the situation and make training recommendations. This will take months with likely several follow up appointments. Repitition and consistency is important. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
