| Sudden aggression
Hi all,
I am seeking some input. This is regarding Buddy my 3 legged boy. He is a rescue that I adopted in December and is set to be neutered next week.
Recently he has started snapping and lunging at nothing (air), the other dogs when they are coming near his toys or chewy, and at me. The time he did this to me, he was laying on the bed and I was petting him, then I bent over to smell him as i have done before ( they had all just gotten a bath & smelled good :-) ) and he went into this behavior, he never connected but when I went to touch him again he snarled at me (no lunging).
We went thru this behavior last night when I was cutting his nails. THIS is a behavior that is new also, I have to muzzle him, and it's a fight until I do the first one then he is fine, I've never cut his quick, and of course he gets belly rubs and lots of praise and a treat. Other than this aberrant behavior, Buddy is the sweetest most loving dog. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on in his big ol head.
Thanks  |
