Bad Behavior

Ozzie, my 3 year old Boston, has always been just a sweetheart and loved everyone until recently. He is becoming more and more territorial. He goes crazy barking and running up to people and running around them like he going to attack them. Its anyone that pulls in our driveway, especially delivery people. He is usually good to listen but not during this behavior.
He is a doggie out of control when he sees a stranger. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...This behavior just started about six months ago.

Ozzie has calmed down a great deal just don't knock on our door...lol. Once he sees who it is he goes to licking just his way of greeting people. Ozzie is more anxious in behavior than our female Boston so he is alot more hyper but with some training he is back to loving most everyone he sees.

Oh, Ozzie would never snap at me. I think in his mind he is protecting us. We have been working with him and he has gotten some better lately. I have also FINALLY talked my husband into getting him neutered since we have two we will not be breeding him so hopefully this will calm him down a bit too. Thanks for your input anything helps.

Can you pinpoint any event that could have acted as a trigger? In any case, you need to correct him so he doesn't continue to get more out of control. Hopefully, he doesn't snap at you.

I'm interested to hear with others have to say about this.
