I highly recommend talking with a veterinary behaviorist regarding Bruce's activity. My concern is this behavior can get worse and he can cause damage. He may be aggressive off leash, but he needs a full evaluation at a behaviorist. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
