My English bulldog is aggressive and anxious. How can I help him?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 65 lbs

My pup is being more aggressive in the days that go by, he’s a 1 1/2 year old English bulldog, he attacks with no warning and has anxiety. We’re waiting for a certificate that lowers the cost of neutering him which should have been done very long ago yet we were so broke at the time and still strruglin. I need advice, I can’t wait any longer to neuter him and even then he may still be aggressive. We’ve tried muzzling and caging him but he’s just associating it with negativity. What should I do?

Hi, neutering might not be the answer as some dogs get even more aggressive after neutering. I would recommend to find an association that will take him over and is able to work on his behaviour prior to rehoming. Unfortunately it takes a lot of money and time to do this on your own and your risk of getting bitten in the meantime is high. Hopefully you will find a solution that it’s helpful for everyone.
