I've made a post about this before but this was when I thought the issue was just an ear infection. My 3 1/2 year old bull mastiff is extremely territorial to the point where no one can go near the fence without him having a melt down. At first i thought that if they let him smell them he would calm down and maybe let them pet him. Well, I was most definitely wrong he nipped at the lady from across the road, of course I had already pre warned her about his behavior.
Today she came over just to talk to me so i grabbed a hold of his collar and made him sit he was fine for about a minute and then started growling and barking again. He then got lose from my grasp because he of course out weighs me. He then proceeded to jump at the fence and i went to grab him once again and he bit me trying to get to her. Im not really sure what to do anymore. He has been well socialized from the get go but it seems like the older he gets the more territorial he gets. He's been to a trainer close by but that really did nothing. Any advice would be great.
