[quote=Anonymous]OP, what breed is your dog?  We had a lab who started showing bizarre aggression (barking at people while on walks, just to make clear, he was not biting, lunging, etc.) and it was due to the steroids he was taking for inflammation.  The vet hadn't warned us that that could be a side effect (possibly because he was the world's calmest and tamest lab), and I wish we would have known.  It was really scary.  I say this because if you have a dog that isn't normally an aggressive breed then maybe something is causing the aggression.  Animals tend to get more aggressive when they're in pain or feel otherwise debilitated (i.e. begin to lose eyesight).  But if your dog is an aggressive breed, then I don't hold out much hope that there is some treatable solution here, and you definitely need to rehome him.  And I would only do that with a reputable trainer or rescue who knows what they're getting into.  Don't give your dog away and have them be scared and alone and stressed out only to be put down by a stranger.  They deserve better than that.[/quote]
