Try socializing your dog and show him all the love in the world. I'm betting your dog has spent entirely to much time alone couped up while you're at work.
Take him out for walks longgg EVERY single day and let him know beyond the shadow of a doubt that he;'s loved.
My dog was a large male pit bull, never neutered and he was very aggressive as a pup, but with plenty of love he became the neighborhood favorite. Even the mailman knew him by name as did the dog catcher who would just drop him back at the house when he got loose.
Some jackass stole him when he was 10 yrs old.

His not being neutered is definitely going to be contributing. When a dog hits sexual maturity and attains his full adult weight, he often starts to get territorial. If you don't want to breed him, I would suggest getting him neutered, as a start; this has other benefits, as well, as older males (especially those which aren't bred, or aren't bred frequently) are prone to testicular cancer. If you intend to breed him and don't want to get him neutered, then it's important to get him into obedience and socialization classes, and your trainer should have some suggestions for reducing territoriality and barking at home.
Come to that, it would be useful for you and he to get such classes even if he does get neutered.
Why are dogs very aggressive with food?

You're reading My dog went from loving everyone as a puppy to barking at almost anyone he sees. He's not neutered; could this be the reason, and what can I do to stop it?
