My pup has been kinda like this too, he would sometimes bite and growl when he gets frustrated (for us not letting him destroy certain things) or suddenly wants to play hard. Maybe if he doesn't listen to "no" and doesn't give up even if you distance yourself, you can put him into time-out through a leash (take away his freedom and interaction with family and not allowing him to have any kind of fun and being ignored).

In any ways, I'm not a professional trainer nor have much experience with dogs yet, but I feel that ignoring/tolerating any kind of aggressiveness from a dog can make it escalate as well, since it can be in some cases rewarding (i.e. Sometimes, dogs can get frustrated too if they don't have enough exercise/stimulation, but I guess that this shouldn't be the case. This training has to be gradual, and personally I believe that it's very important that an owner can handle a dog that won't react aggressively, coz of the reason I've mentioned.īut this sudden change of behaviour must have a reason, maybe the presence of your step father is stressing him somehow. Also, teach him "drop it"/"leave it" if he doesn't know those commands, or train him again with treats and encouragement to reinforce him feeling good about you commanding him to drop/leave stuffs. Try to take stuffs away from him by trading something he likes more (but don't do it too often), so that he will get used to giving you stuffs since it's good for him.
