Ice will be 1 yr and 10 months soon, We have been in a Financial bind for almost a year now, we are going to get Ice fixed, and with my back Problem I can not walk Ice, he's getting to be a load, since I'm unable to socialize him, he is getting agressive towards anyone who is a stranger around here, he barks and growls, my wife and I can hardly handle him, He does listen to me sometimes but other days he's a handful, my wife is finally getting more used to him and he's starting to listen to her, he will sit while I get his food and will not eat till I tell him ok, he has favorite toys and if I tell him he can't have them, he lets them alone will not touch, so I think he has alot of potential? I think alot of his problem is not socialized! My Wife and I love him alot, but there are alot of kids in our neighborhood and his agression sometimes scares us! He loves to play and is very energetic! He can be so loving but lately we are not giving him loving all the time, we want him to earn being petted, he tries forcing himself on us, tries to be domainant with us but we are teaching him it doesn't work like that! He is coming around alittle! He hardly ever just lays down, he's a ball of energy! Suggestions are welcome, we hope to get him to mellow alittle? Hope it happens ) Well Take Care all and Sorry so long we are just worried about ice ) Also we live in Ohio ) Ices Dad
