Overprotective 3 year old Neutered male Portuguese water dog?

I have always had dogs but never had this experience with over-protectedness. If I did though I think I might call in a professional dog trainer to help.

Perhaps it's okay that he be that way with strangers, but not with your spouse. That's my opinion anyway. I'd be concerned that it might get worse if not addressed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
