Exclamation Did the new puppy ruin my Pal?

Help! We have a 4 year old Miniature Schnauzer (King)and decided to make an addition about 6 months ago (Kajun, another miniature Schnauzer. Both males). Since the addition King has become a little more aggressive and has nipped at the kids, we had him neutered and he settled down a little but he just did it again to our 6 year old son after he disciplined King. Before adding Kajun, King would never had displayed any behavior that came close biting the kids but we cannot have a dog in the house that becomes aggressive towards the kids so unpredictably. We had considered giving Kajun to a good home and hoping King would return to normal but are unsure. Help?

The Kings

IMO King is confused about his place in the pack. it should be you & your husband, then King then Kajun, you can google NILIF for info on becoming alpha & you can implement it right away.

can you describe what you mean by desciplining?

I will assume the other dog is neutered also?

We Have the same breed as you, and because they are so smart they can become problematic. For me it was easy adding another schnauzer, she was only six weeks old, and the male instantly took to her and became her protector. When we got "Doc" the male we also got his brother at the same time and as they started to mature, we could see the status roll starting to play out and we decided to give the other male to a good friend. I am sure it would have played out but since Doc is a little slow upstairs the other male would have taken advantage of that. I never had a female dog before, had I known how much easier they are ( thats a whole topic in itself), I would only have females!! The worst thing you can do is punish your first dog for being betrayed, so he feels. I would find a good home for the male and consider a puppy female and see how much better it will work out. But like Sue asked how do you discipline, if not done right you can make your male more of a problen. My Doberman I had years ago simply was a one man dog, and nothing can change that and I excepted that!!! Hope This Helps!
