Redirected Aggression - We have a boxer that does this. We believe it's because she feels a situation is out of control. If anyone goofs around in the least little way, Sierra will turn on Jax. Normally, Sierra is submissive to Jax except in these situations. Ex: I walked by the couch and grabbed DH's sock and gave it a tug. He laughed and moved quickly to grab my hand. I gave a low shriek. Sierra turned on Jax. It has nothing to do with submission or even another dog. It's a reaction to a situation.
