Hypothetical Question
How would you handle a dog that is a cross between 2 powerful breeds that has managed to break several collars and leashes and has jumped a fence to attack another dog, on more than one occassion. Let's say this dog isn't quite a year old and hasn't been neutered yet. Also let's say this dog has a sibling, female that doesn't show any of the same aggressive tendencies and is a pretty easy going laid back dog.

That would be more than I could handle using help from the internet. I would contact a professional trainer who is experienced in large breeds and aggression. I would try to ask all professional trainers I have ever dealt with in the past for references and since I am in Canada I would check out http://www.cappdt.ca/public/jpage/1/p/Home/content.do There is such a trainer near me.

I would be questioning if the dog's current home/owner was a good "fit" in terms of being able to manage the dog's needs and behaviour effectively. Are you asking from the POV of the owner of the dog or an observer?

As far as the aggression goes, this dog first and foremost should be neutered - the sooner the better. His aggressive tendancies may not dissapear, but there is a good chance it can help rehabilitate him. If he's showing aggressive tendancies towards other dogs, my first assumption would be that because he's still young - his behavior is coming out of a place of frustration - ie: not socialized properly, combined with the hormones of being intact.

My thoughts:
-wrong collar -neuter the dog yesterday -why is the dog unattended in a fenced area if it's known to be aggressive and escape - is the dog a "yard dog" or a house pet - how often is the dog exercised, for how long - how often does the dog get a chance to socialize - who lives in the house and who cares for the dog

Neuter the dog, neuter the dog and neuter the dog, did I say neuter the dog?
Then I would look at the living situation, exercise levels, training etc. As it sounds like a dog that isn't getting what it needs. As for collars etc until I knew how the dog was being treated I couldn't comment really. Dollars to donuts the sister is being treated appropriately.
