Possessive behavior

[Ton]

Is there anyway I can correct aggressive behavior from my 11th month old game bread pitbull. The dog has started to show possessive behavior and the aggression whenever he's around a fresh killed animal or fish. The other day he was around a dead blue fish on the shore and wouldn't let me come near him, to the point where he almost charged me. I had to distract him and get his leash and was able to get him away from the fish. Outside of these circumstances is the most loving and adoring dog that I have ever owned.

Any suggestions on how I can deal with this behavior, he is an otherwise very friendly and loving dog when he is around people and never shows aggression.

Yes, I'd keep him on the leash and away from dead animals.

The moment I read "game bread" and then want's him to not be aggressive or possessive, I gave up.

Jack I don't get it, my partner said this past weekend that i was rude and ignorant but I actually helped this couple out. They were breeding "gamebred" pups and what not and started with 1, bred her ended up with 7. Well 2 pups bred to each other they got a litter and now they have a house overran with fights and everything else. Nice people but I asked them what were they getting out of owning a dog that considered "gamebred"? They didn't know except that the husband thought he would get paid bc he heard how popular these dogs were. Now they got 16 dogs and going broke trying to feed them. I told them 1 of two things, place them or shoot them. The guy had his dogs ADBA registered and they actually weren't too far removed from some working dogs, found a guy with a small farm who does some Coyote and some varmit hunting with him and his buddies. Well the guy and his friends who all have some good farmland ended up coming down to take 12, I asked another buddy of mine if he wouldn't mind taking the 3 bc he had kennels that were empty he did and now they just have the mom who they said as of yesterday was at Vet getting fixed. They decided not to breed them no more, they looking into Yorkies.. I'm happy for them.

Damn. They found us here too.

Unless you're feeding it to him, then just leave him alone, and let him eat.

First of all, you should never have your dog off a leash like that. (That right there is the cause of virtually every ownership stupidity that has ever happened.)

Second, with control of your animal now, because he's on a leash like he should have been all along, you can decide where you allow him to go and thus keep him away from dead animals.

Just would like to clarify he is not running wild outside, this is in my backyard. I live on the water and have a private beach
Where my dogs can play and run.
Whenever I take him out he is always on a leash.
