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.

Going to repeat it for u!!

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.

Must be nice!

There really is nothing you can do, IMO, short of keeping the dog on a leash.

My dog Stormbringer would freakin kill someone if he had a bone and they got near him. Some dogs are just like that.

Either 1) keep him away from the animals with a leash; 2) kill the dog; or 3) stay away from him when he has a kill, lol

I am not much of a "trainer" ... I let dogs be dogs and don't believe in "correcting" instinctive behavior.
