Zeus is 6 months old. We live in a rural setting, so he doesn't see many strangers. He is goofy and playful with our family, I have no concerns there. When he was a baby we would take him to all our boys football practices and he was great with everyone. A couple of months ago he started growling at people and children. We know he is not a bad boy, but didn't want to scare people so he stays home now. He is never alone though, our daughters will stay home with him and his two dog sisters. He has a love affair with the neighbours boxer, and hasn't shown much aggression with any other dogs. He does get a little dominant when visiting his littermate brother, but because he is in his brothers' house, he is dominated by him. My concern is while visiting a sick family member, we had to put him in another room when the nurse came and when other family members came to visit. He was growling and snarling and his dander was up. He has shown this behaviour when friends have come to our house in the past, but it diffuses when he realizes they are okay. The problem is he can't behave this way with strangers. What would you recommend?
