[Leona41]

He is a rescue we have had for three weeks have had 39 years exp with dogs but can't figure this one out. He will lunge and you can't get a hold of him. He will break skin, he is fine with all other dogs and us rest of time. Husband works odd shifts so I sleeping or trying to until this started help?! Yes he is on the bed

Hi Leona! It's not hugely uncommon for dogs to be scared of men, especially rescues who have had goodness knows what happen to them and are not yet relaxed in a new home (it can take months and months before you get to see the real dog ).

In order to help us can you give us a run down of the dog's typical day, from when he wakes up to when he goes to bed. What exercise and training he has, what food he eats, who else (two and four legged) lives in the house.

Can you also describe a little more what happens when he attacks your husband and what, if anything, you have done so far to try to fix it.

Lots of detail please
