Pet's info: Dog | Belgian Malinois | Male | neutered | 70 lbs

Hi I have a 4 year old Belgian Malinois who I’ve had since a puppy and socialized a lot with humans and animals. And now all the sudden he’s aggressive to all animals. Is there a way to train him without risking the safety of other Animlas. Or is he just a grump dog now

I would find a professional behavioral expert to work with Nixon. They could train him in a safe manners, and work with his aggressive behavior. You can ask your vet for a referral to a professional behavioral expert. Good on you for wanting to correct this behavior!
