My boyfriend and I got an American bull dog puppy from a friend who couldnt take care of him and had him locked in a crate for the few months he had him. he is now 7 months old and we have been taking him to the dog parks and around as many people that we can, he dose great with dogs it just seems to be some people. I work as a dog groomer at a vet hospital and he gets nervous around people he has seen before and recently he has been growling. Today he was growling and looked as if he was going to really go after someone, im not to sure what to do i have the people at my work pet him and give him treats when hes there to get him used to them but he just seems to randomly get into that aggressive state. any advise would be great thanks!

It's time to get a dog behaviorist involved in person--very quickly. Ask your veterinarian to recommend one in your area. The dog is in or approaching puberty, and things could go very badly very soon without the right help. Among other things, you don't want him to hurt another dog. There is great risk of this. As far as harming people, that depends. You need expert behavior help in person. Don't delay!
