I have seen a couple females go thru a spell, usually between 18 months to 2 years old where they will get very aggressive on the tree, but later come out of it. Not all of them do, but if it is a female and she is any good you might want to hang in there a little while and see if she comes out of it.
It is said that having a litter of puppies will calm them down, maybe this is true, but I would not breed a mean dog to find out. Otherwise, I have to agree with the previous post.
There is a guy on this forum that suggested something to try several months back...as soon as you see this dog do anything aggressive yank it off the tree, roll it on it's back on the ground and while holding it flat on the ground get right in the dogs face and yell and growl at it.....I haven't tried this and I don't know if it will work, but I will say this; I got nothing to lose and I aint above trying anything to save an otherwise decent dog.
The other problem is that sometimes you can break a dog to not try anything while you are there...but the time you are not the dog does as it pleases. Best of luck.
Would you keep huntin it with your other dogs to see if it was gettin over its mean spell Cause that advice sounds stupid all those type dogs need a dirt nap
