i would really appreciate some help as i'm worried sick about this problem.
I have a mixed breed dog, which i had since he was a little puppy. He is an adorible dog, very sweet and caring. He is usually very obedient at home, but once we go out for a walk, he just freaks. He pulls on the leash like crazy, getting angry at people but especially children.
This problem is getting increasingly worse, as now he's getting angry with visitors he doesn't know. For example when my parents come to visit, he's overjoyed. but last week, my cousin came with her son (he has something for small children) to my house, and he went crazy: his back hair went all spikey, and was growling and barking like crazy. i just couldn't control him.
He's a very hyperactive dog.
What can i do, he's got such a sweet nature at home, he's like Dr Jackle and Mr Hyde. He never went aggressive with me. Will neutering him make this better? Please help me

It seems that your dog have bad experience with children before. Normally dog will remember the people who try to hurt them. They will become aggresive when the people come again. The best is to let your dog socialize with more people and try not to let them scare the dog. Dog will be aggresive to stranger that is quite normal as they try to protect their territory. You must try to let your dog know that the people in the house are friends. This will take time. A dog won't be aggresive towards the owner or it will be big trouble. Neutering the dog won't help.

hi ppl,
thank-you all for your reply.
Just wanted to add, that my dog never had bad experience with kids, as he don't come in contact with kids. But i do remember the first time he met a small boy; that time he was very jealous.
