Help, a new behavior has surfaced

I am looking for help because my (usually well behaved with all people and kids) dog did something out of character today. Snow is new to him, but we were outside playing in the snow and there was a family right next to us and the kids were sledding down the hill. Well Inuki (my german shepherd/whippet mix) charged at the sledders and barked then ran away.

my dogs aggression over tennis balls has increased!

Thanks to your advice, Adian, Inuki has been doing much better, and he is much more social with other dogs in general, especially since he is going to doggy daycare a few times a week! One thing, however, has gotten worse.....his obsession with tennis balls at the dog park!

dog likes to control other dogs when playing

Thank you for your input on my previous blog, Adian. It was really helpful. Now a new issue has risen at the doggy day care i bring him to. Inuki is doing great at this place i have been bringing him and his encounters with dogs have been positive, and he has stopped being so defensive when dogs jump on him to play, however the instructor mentioned to me that they are working on this, but he prefers to run circles around the dogs that are playing while barking at them, and sometimes he is a little too confident with small dogs and he will grab them and try to mount them (he is neutered).

My medium sized dog is submissive to me and smaller dogs, but dominant to larger dogs!

Hi, please help. I adopted a dog 2 years ago, and from the start, he has learned that I am the alpha dog through proper training and leadership which is great. When we do to the dog park, he usually meets and greets and everything is fine for a little while, big dogs, small dogs, whatever, but after a minute or two of running and getting dogs to chase him, he thinks he is "park police" and starts to charge at dogs who are playing together, and will try to mount the dog who is playing the roughest. i do not let him.
