He does but not at the vet. I yell and he hits the floor and shows me his belly. All that goes out the window at vet time.

Dogs don't bail on their pack leaders just because of a change of scenery. Get your dog trained before he kills someone.

Have you tried sitting down and reasoning with him? Or maybe he’s just a bit smarter than you and is antivax and doesn’t want any of those poisonous shots. That’s a real smart dog you have there, pal.

What if his job is to keep the house/family safe? Nice dogs don't do the best job of that.

Protection dogs are the most well trained dogs there are... that is unless the owners want them to be disposable.

Many places will put a dog down if it bites multiple times in a single attack.

My first boxer was a highly active, big for the breed animal. We took him to schutzhund training for fun and activity.
I learned there that the first and most important part of any guard/attack dog training is teaching them to make a bite and hold on...if the bite is lost, not to go back. That is a hard thing to teach a predator... but hard work and patience prevents a guard dog from being put to sleep for doing his job but biting multiple times and be seen as a mauler.

If you watch any of those real cop shows where they send a dog in, that is a trademark- establish a single hold on flesh- no more no less.

Boxers are the coolest dogs. I'm on my first one right now. 2.5 years old. Complete handful. AKC Registered and his dad's name was Rowdy if that tells you anything. Goofiest personality you can even imagine. He's been the perfect dog. Trained him well and socialized him when he was young. He guards my wife like it's if life, but acts nothing like this Rango dog. If a male enters the home he doesnt know, he will bark at him for a few minutes, then work up the courage to scope him out and if he clears then that male is good and he will lick him to death.

I trained my rescue pitbull mutt to be a family pet. She was also an incredibly amazing protector. She would intimidate anyone immediately but on command would give licks. Somehow through training this also translated to moving cattle better than a boarder collie and an Australian shepherd, just more chill and responsive to commands. It's amazing what dogs can do if you really work to be their master. Number one reason I haven't gotten another dog right now.
