    He's frustrated,,,patts were bred to hunt wild game sometimes bigger then they are,,patts are like farm animals there not good pets like fluffy doodle.There jackrussells on roids.You can't keep a real patt with another dog unattended ever cuz if there a small fuss it will end really bad.Little terriers mature physically and mentally much faster then big dogs they hit the ground running.Your poor patt is going to suffer cuz your not the right type of keeper,,if you ever get him to obey it's cuz he got the snot beat out of him and now he becomes a depressed zombie for life.You should have done your home work,,,,these dogs are for hunters,,say what you want,,these guys take excellent care of these dogs,,,there like terrier vets.

    i find ur comment very untrue i have bred patterdale's and it is really just some are just little killers and some just love humans and siting on the couch i suggest that u take him hunting every other weekend or build him a flirt pole or spring pole he will work his energy out and will calm him down a little also try letting him get a bitch it will help calm him down and with patts u cant just tell them NO or give him a little tap on the butt. u need to yok his ass up and make his ass listen no matter how bad it looks it's the only way these little fuckers listen

    i agree with the comment on just some being little killers but the rest is not good idea a bitch isnt good idea the dog itself needs sorted temperment wise first before any other dog introduced a flirt pole or spring pole will get energy out but for how long,not long at all and the more he does it the more the dog becomes fit and can do it longer and tires less.you need to get to the root of the problem and the problem is social experience.the terrier isnt socialised for you the owners needs as he was a pup bad experiences last in a dogs mind and are hard to break.the dog is comfortable in the apartment because he is secure there he needs to me go to the most crowded places and hear see smell everthing he can and disapline at the first sign of bad behavior until he is comfortable in the surrounding as much as he is in his home.most people take on terrier pups because they are cute as pups not know that they are relentless balls of firey energy and theydo not know they are small they all think they are great dane size.the dog does need an energy release but he first needs to learn some sort of social behaviour

    I think that u have many good ideas but getting him a bitch or culling him is a have to almost because yes he had a bad expierence i have had many patts and bulldogs are a lot differnt bulldogs are actually a easier dog to handle these little patts want to hurt anything they can and usally dont care not as willing to please as a bulldog

  6. The dog needs to be socialized on as regular a schedule as possible. Most of mine show dog aggression from the time they are small pups. I turn them loose daily in the yard and deal with the dog aggression every-time I see it. As I trap vermin throughout the year and introduce my pups to the animals I want them to be aggressive to (coon, ghogs, possum, etc) I praise them for this type of aggression but correct them for ANY dog aggression. These dogs come by their aggression honestly as they have been bred for a high prey drive, the drive has to be steered in the right direction or this problem will persist. The only cure is lots of time spent socializing the dog with other dogs and correcting him. I start by roughly grabbing the collar and pulling the dog up close and covering their eyes and muzzle with my hand and I squeeze very firmly and tell them "No" sometimes many times and loudly. I do this over and over and it usually always works if you have the opportunity of raising the dog yourself after a moderate period of time, which can take weeks. I will even try this on an adult dog I have brought to the yard that don't know the rules yet, but if it doesn't work after several days of work on a new adult, then I break out the shock collar. I seldom have to use a shock collar but if used properly it will work great and nearly every-time, but if you are not careful you can and will ruin a good dog with a collar. If you have to buy a collar, don't allow yourself to become agitated while using it...I cannot stress enough, you CAN and WILL ruin a good dog with an shock collar. I will admit that there are dogs that just can't be broke from dog aggression, I had a Jagdterrier I couldn't break, he would sneak around and wait until he thought I couldn't see and then jump on another dog. I finally got rid of him because I hunt 4 to 5 dogs at a time. Good luck.
