Get it an electric collar and push a button to shock your dog. Get it with low watts so it won't hurt him but scare him.
Take him to training/obedience classes if he decided not to listen and have respect for you. My 2 Pit puppies, have never tried to do that to me, not even when they're playing roughly.
Watch the Dog Whisperer Or read some of Caesar Millan's books... more than likely your dog is reacting to something you don't even realize you are doing.
spank it .make that little dog know that you are the alpha dog. good luck.
I watched this on the Dog Whisperer. If your dog starts to attack you let him know who is boss by you acting aggressive towards him even though you might be scared. Stand your ground. I hope it works. Or like put him in a cage or block the door so he cant attack you.
Stop the behavior immediately. I have found with my terrier that the quickest training method is a squirt gun. I carry it in my pocket and as soon as I see bad behavior, the gun comes out and the water sprays. Follow this up with praise for good behavior and it usually only takes a few sprays for them to get the hint.
I have also found that the greatest contributor to bad behavior is lack of excercise. Try getting him out a little more and wearing him out by walking or playing.
Dogs arent evil only people are... Sounds like you have not properly trained your dog, you probably have allowed him to become Alpha of the house. Try this..
Nothing In Life Is Free
Does your dog: Get on the furniture and refuse to get off? Nudge your hand, insisting on being petted or played with? Refuse to come when called? Defend its food bowl or toys from you? “Nothing in life is free” can help. “ Nothing in life is free” is not a magic pill that will solve a specific behavior problem; rather it’s a way of living with your dog that will help it behave better because it trusts and accepts you as its leader and is confident knowing its
place in your family.
How To Practice “Nothing In Life Is Free:”
• Using positive reinforcement methods, teach your dog a few commands and/or tricks. “Sit,” “Down” and “ Stay” are useful commands and “Shake,” “Speak” and “Rollover” are fun tricks to teach your dog.
• Once your dog knows a few commands, you can begin to practice “nothing in life is free.” Before you give your dog anything (food, a treat, a walk, a pat on the head) it must first perform one of the commands it has learned.
For example:
You Your dog
Put your dog’s leash on to go for a walk Must sit until you’ve put the leash on
Feed your dog Must lie down and stay until you’ve put the bowl down
Play a game of fetch after work Must sit and shake hands each time you throw the toy
Rub your dog’s belly while watching TV Must lie down and rollover before being petted
• Once you’ve given the command, don’t give your dog what it wants until it does what you want. If it refuses to perform the command, walk away, come back a few minutes later and start again. If your dog refuses to obey the command, be patient and remember that eventually it will have to obey your command in order to get what it wants.
• Make sure your dog knows the command well and understands what you want before you begin practicing “ nothing in life is free.”
The Benefits of This Technique:
• Most dogs assume a neutral or submissive role toward people, but some dogs will challenge their owners for dominance. Requiring a dominant dog to work for everything it wants is a safe and non-confrontational way to establish control.
• Dogs who may never display aggressive behavior such as growling, snarling, or snapping, may still manage to manipulate you. These dogs may display affectionate, though “pushy” behavior, such as nudging your hand to be petted or “worming” its way on to the furniture in order to be close to you. This technique gently reminds the “pushy” dog that it must abide by your rules.
• Obeying commands helps build a fearful dog’s confidence; having a strong leader and knowing its place in the hierarchy helps to make the submissive dog feel more secure.
Why This Technique Works:
Animals that live in groups, like dogs, establish a social structure within the group called a dominance hierarchy. This dominance hierarchy serves to maintain order, reduce conflict and promote cooperation among pack members. In order for your home to be a safe and happy place for pets and people, it’s best that the humans in the household assume the highest positions in the dominance hierarchy. Practicing “nothing in life is free” effectively and gently communicates to your dog that its position in the hierarchy is subordinate to yours. From your dog’s point of view, children also have a place in this hierarchy. Because children are small and can get down on the dog’s level to play, dogs often consider them to be playmates, rather than superiors. With the supervision of an adult, it’s a good idea to encourage children in the household (aged eight and over) to also practice “nothing in life is free” with your dog.

WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE? A lesson in becoming Alpha
by Vicki Rodenberg De Gruy "My dog just tried to bite me! All I did was tell him to move over so I could sit on the couch next to him."
" My dog got into the trash can and when I scolded her, she growled at me. What's wrong with her? I thought she loved me!"
" Our dog is very affectionate most of the time but when we try to make him do something he doesn't want to do, he snaps at us."
What do these three dogs have in common? Are they nasty or downright vicious? No - they're "alpha". They've taken over the leadership of the families that love them. Instead of taking orders from their people, these dogs are giving orders! Your dog can love you very much and still try to dominate you or other members of your family.
Dogs are social creatures and believers in social order. A dog's social system is a "pack" with a well-defined pecking order. The leader of the pack is the alpha, supreme boss, Top Dog. He (or she) gets the best of everything - the best food, the best place to sleep, the best toy, etc. The leader also gets to be first in everything - he gets to eat first, to leave first and to get attention first.
All the other dogs in the pack respect the alpha dog's wishes. Any dog that challenges the alpha's authority gets a swift physical reminder of just where his place in the pack really is.
Your family is your dog's "pack". Many dogs fit easily into the lower levels of their human pack's pecking order and don't make waves. They do what they're told and don't challenge authority. Other dogs don't fit in quite as well. Some of them are natural born leaders and are always challenging their human alpha's. Other dogs are social climbers - they're always looking for ways to get a little closer to the top of the family ladder. These natural leaders and the social climbers can become problems to an unsuspecting family that's not aware of the dog's natural pack instincts.
Some families encourage their dogs to take over the "pack" without realizing it. They treat their dogs as equals, not as subordinates. They give them special privileges like being allowed to sleep on the bed or couch. They don't train their dogs and let them get away with disobeying commands. In a real dog pack, no one but the alpha dog would get this kind of treatment. Alpha doesn't have anything to do with size. The tiniest Chihuahua can be a canine Hitler. In fact, the smaller the dog, the more people tend to baby them and cater to them - making the dog feel even more dominant and in control of his humans.

Don't make him mad. No all jokes aside I have a Daschy to but he's not mean to me but he attacks my grandson all the time and we live in the same house and the dog was suppose to be his but Butchy doesn't want to bothered with him. try playing with him more and take him with you in the car they love to ride and look out the window I know i didn't answer your question but i love Daschys . Good luck Scold hom sternly when he bite they can bite hard for little dogs.
You need to show your dog that you are the alfa dog. Put a choke chain on it with a leash and take it for a walk. When it get aggressive or does something you don't like, give the leash a tug and say no. Do that allot and your dog will find out you are the alfa dog.
i had a evil german shepherd who always used to nipe a me.. it takes a while to do so.. but get a bottle sprayer and when he acts "evil" spray him and say "no!" if that doesn't work use a leash and collar and correct him ( it's not cruel) if he keeps on doing it, it's because he knows he can control you and you have to outwit him and control him! hoped it worked!
this might seem mean; but put hot sause on your hands then go like put it near the dog, and when it attacks your hand it will taste the hot sause and wont want to bite them anymore.
do that a couple times and i bet you it will stop.
This dog thinks he is in charge and is the alpha dog in your home. You need to use "positive" discipline and have your dog trained.You also need to teach the dog you are in charge. NEVER use spanking, hitting or yelling. This will make the problem worse or make the dog fear you! There are tons of articles on the Internet about aggression in dogs. Your local Humane Society will be able to refer you to some places or resources that can help.
One of my dogs was like that and remained that way all his sixteen years! It was hard for all of us and luckily we were all adults so we could cope with our biter. Looking back I realize we should have nipped this type of behavior in the bud instead of letting the dog take over. A good training school is the immediate solution.
