I'd consult a behaviorist. As you say, this behavior is not acceptable and has to be stopped before it gets worse. |
Yes, he was neutered in March. He is trained to not go through the door before them, not to run outside when the door is opened and he must comply to "down" when playing for his toy to be thrown. He is fed twice a day and he eats it within 15 min or less.
My husband and I noticed when we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago he was showing some unwelcome behavior to our 5 lb female yorkie and even tried to "hump" our arm which was stopped immediately.
This behavior is not playful and I don't think a snarling dog has play in mind.
