Im not expert but I do know the basics. You must correct the behavior long before the actual attack. Usually with such a high string breed you should use a training collar or slip lead at the uppermost part of the neck. Any tiny sign of aggression like, growling, freezing, staring, lifting upper lip, ears back and staring and stiffening of the tail you have to correct immediately. There are many at home resources like the library houses many books on correcting dog behaviors, there is a training section in the forum where you can get advice from professional trainers and there is Cesar Millan's Dog Whisperer that can give you some clues as to how to begin fixing the behavior.Be sure to consult a professional even if its through this site. Be careful and calm-assertive and reward positive behavior.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck with you Mali.
