Hi, my dog is 5yr old pit.I rescued him 6months ago. I'm wondering why my dog when let off leash to run in yard does he perceed to charge at me aggresively and bit me not hard but enough to bruise?

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.
