My name is
Lincoln!

We are a family of 4 (sons are 10 and 8). We rescued Lincoln from a rescue when he was 2.5 months. He was found in a trap with his siblings. The foster family informed us that he had food aggression. He started to develop leash reactivity towards other dogs and kids (random) around 4 months. We rescued a 3 year old dog when Lincoln was 5 months. They get along but Lincoln plays too aggressively, leaving bite marks all over our other dog and when they play, Lincolns hair stands on end and he becomes too aggressive. He has been growling at our kids (started if they would walk by him when he had a bone) but now he is growling when they approach him and pet him. I have been trying to work with him on the leash reactivity but seeing no results. When I walk him we have to create alot of distance from other dogs or he growls, barks and lunges. This is very hard because he is a sweet energetic boy but I dont trust him around the kids and dont want to risk a bite. DNA test upon request.
