There is probably a billion other threads like this, although I've been searching for 3 hours and haven't really found what I'm looking for.
We've had Franklin for two weeks now, and up until recently, he's been GREAT! He was playful, and cuddly, and all around cute.
Well today... he's been extremely aggressive with me. He jumps on the couch just to pounce at my face or bite at me. His biting is hard, and he growls and barks. It doesn't seem like play, but could it be?
We haven't really done anything different with him. Out of nowhere, today, he decides to be mean. I tried saying "OUCH!" afterwards and nipping at him with my hand. I've tried getting up and walking away. He usually just follows me and then starts at it again once I sit back down.
I'm so angry and frustrated with him! I'm sure he can sense my anger and is feeding off of that somehow but I just don't know what to do! I got so frustrated that I just put him in his crate for an hour. I let him back out and he started doing it again! I gave him a bully stick, but I'm sure it's only time until he gets bored and wants to be aggressive again.
Any ideas?
