Aggression is one of the most common reasons for puppies being sent to rescues or shelters when they become unmanageable. The reality is that puppy aggression is usually a fault directly of the owners and the breeders and may, in fact, be completely correctable. Some puppies are naturally more aggressive than others with male puppies normally slightly more aggressive than females. Some breeds may also be more aggressive as puppies and may also be more prone to aggression as they mature if not properly trained.

Except in exceptional circumstances, it is nearly always the owners fault for not reacting correctly to early signs. Even a very dominant dog would not turn aggressive if taught very early in puppy hood, that it is not acceptable behaviour.

When my dog is playing with the neighbor kids or other people he is very well behaved, but when he is playing with me he tends to get very aggressive at times dose anyone know why he is like this?

This is even more important if you have children around the home. A puppy needs to be trained very early and made aware of how they should behave. You can do this by using treats etc.
