Dog aggression?
I do not have a dog yet. I am looking in to adopting one. I found one, they said he is good with other dogs, but when i went to visit him, he was almost vicious to other dogs. I know living in a shelter, caged all the time can be stressful on a dog, and i hope this is the reason he was acting so aggressive toward the other dogs. As he was still in the cage as the other dogs were passing by. But other that this problem he is perfect, he is soo sweet, and loves people! I am thinking about adopting this dog, i do not have any other dogs, but i would like to be able to take my dog to the park with me without worrying he will attack another dog. Have you ever had a dog who was dog aggressive? Or do you know if there is a way to help him with is dog aggression?

Since you’ve never actually seen the dog outside of his kennel, it would probably be a little premature at this point to write the dog off as being agressive. Still, no one wants to adopt a problem.
If the shelter is at all reputable, they should be honest and straight forward with you as to the dog’s temperament. Hopefully they have some area where you can see the dog interact with other dogs, outside of the kennel. As a last resort, if you end up adopting the dog, and he in fact, is agressive, you will have a certain time frame in which to return the dog to the shelter.
Bottomline: Go back to the shelter to see if you can see the dog interact with other dogs. If it appears he is agressive, it might be best to pass, particularly if you are a first time dog owner.
