We got two dogs from the pound last month.?
I have always been able to train my dogs in the past and now both dogs have learned basic skills. One dog is very polite the other is a bully. He beats up the polite dog and this morning he got one of my cats in its mouth. I had to wrestle him off her. On a walk the other day he almost knocked down a kid (again I had to wrestle him off because no and other commands didn't work). I'm taking the bully(as well as the other dog) to obedience classes next Saturday hoping the trainers can help. I believe pets are for their lifetime however keeping him isn't fair to the other animals. Can this kind of aggression be trained out of a dog?

It can be managed in some cases, with the proper training. Many dogs end up in shelters for behavioral problems, and it sounds like this is the case with your new dog. See how the training goes, but if you're still having difficulties, take the dog back with no guilt. Some dogs that are assumed to be suitable for adoption actually aren't. Dogs are returned to shelters on a regular basis because of it. If it doesn't work out, know that you tried, and thank you for trying.
