I have two yorkies that I love so very much - Maximus (22mths), and Bruno (10mths). Up until about 2mths ago, they were the sweetest dogs ever!! They were both overly people and other dog friendly....then Maximus started to become 'snappy and grumpy' when other dogs would come to 'say hi' by sniffing him. Now he still loves people - but I can't even put him down at the dog park b/c he actually lunges, snaps, growls, and tries to bit other dogs!!
I am so upset and depressed about this! This aggressive dog is not my normal happy Maximus!!
Anyone have any idea what in the world could be going on? We have had a couple upsets in our lives recently - but I dont' think that they alone explain these behaviors! (We went through the IKE thing in Sep. & had workers at our house for 3weeks afterwards, & Bruno - his little bro. got attacked by a silkie in early Sep., & we moved in Aug.) PLEASE let me know if anyone has any advise on how to help him over come this!!! I want him to be happy!!!!
