How long have you had him? Since he comes from a shelter, you do not know what kind of treatment the dog has had in his life. I brought home a westie mix that would bite us whenever she got mad. And she had a terrible temper at first. We had to do traiing with her to let her know that that was not nice, and in time, she has calmed down and we rarely see her that mad anymore. Some dogs take time to get used to a new home, maybe he just needs a bit more time before he does. But i do agree with the first post that the training is needed.
