Please can anyone offer some advice, I am a first time presa canario owner but have kept rottweilers and Rhodesian ridgebacks previously, I have a 9 month old female who is very large and powerful, unfortunately no amount of socialisation has helped me calm her natural guarding instincts, she is very aggressive towards small dogs and at times people that surprise her, there has been two biting incidents, everyone will say it is not there fault but in each case freak circumstances led to the attack, in one instance I had bought her A new collar which broke under strain, she ripped someones jacket when they were trying to protect their dog, which she was trying to attack, in another instance when I was recovering from whiplash she managed pull me off balance when a drunk guy surprised her in the dark bundled into us, his jacket was mauled. there has been several other incidents, her level of aggression towards dogs can be frightening at times, I have put so much time, effort and money into my dogs my bullweiler boy, is incredible with everyone but also a great guard dog when needs be, but she seems unable to calm down and goes into a frenzied attack with small dogs and when surprised by people, today I was bitten which I believe was redirection when she was trying to get to two women. Please can anybody help with what I can do to go from here.
