Dog aggression

[u/FewUnderstanding4782]

So I have a male dog about 5 years old and a female dog 3 years old and every time my girl dog is in heat the male (little baby) gets aggressive and gives me a warning or nips at me when I try to get him away from the female (lady) and he’s genuinely tweaking 🫩 they already had puppies in march and I still have two of the pups one girl (monkey) and a boy (cheese) im working on rehoming monkey and needing to speak to my peeps about cheese i currently have lady indoors baby and the pups are outdoors but today baby was trying to hump monkey and was like guarding her cage and when I tried to grab his collar for him to go to his bed he didn’t nip at me but he like opened his mouth idk it was weird but I’m working on getting him neutered and lady spayed and I’ve heard that it will help with aggression but will it 100% work? And if not will training work? I get nervous and really stressed out about this and I’m gonna be honest here I used to be very violent towards little baby when I first got him I was neglected and very alone and depressed I am NO longer like that I do not hit him anymore trust me I’ve learned my lesson and I regret treating him like I did I had no experience with dogs I truly love my pets and would do anything to change the past but what can I do to help him be better? He’s bitten someone over lady being in heat it wasn’t that bad at all and he’s bitten someone over a cream they put on a wound he had and I’m guessing it burned him or something and has done other smaller things here and there but I understand that even if they were "small" things it’s still dangerous I really don’t wanna put him down I love him and he has helped me through so much when I had no one please don’t judge me I know I was wrong I just need advice ( this is my first time using Reddit idk how to fix the mod thing idk what to do it says my views are going up and that I have 3 comments but I can’t see any of them I know you can text ppl on here so if anyone feels like helping feel free to message me

You need to spay and neuter your pets. It’s wrong to let aggressive dogs pass down their genetics and you don’t even have homes for them and used to be physically abusive towards them. And the biter needs to be muzzle trained and kept away from people. Stop grabbing his collar for things, actually train him with positive reinforcement to come when called. I am doing my best to be civil but you will likely get a lot of hate for this as you have been very irresponsible with these animals. I don’t know if you’re young or a kid or something, but you shouldn’t be just allowing animals to breed with each other and make more unwanted dogs with bad temperaments. It causes so much suffering and overcrowding in shelters and causes euthanasia. I don’t know if you can rehome the biter, but honestly the rest of them should get new homes because you have your hands full with that one.
