I would definitely make sure he gets a full exam by the vet to make sure he isn’t having any pain. Neutering might help. It may take him more time to adjust. If you are fearful when you go to pick him up then he will feel that and take control of that. My moms rescue would growl and snap when I would go to brush his teeth and I would stop. Well one time I didn’t stop and he stopped growling and let me brush his teeth and never did that again. It might also take a trainer to work with him but be very careful and make sure it’s a trainer that only uses positive reinforcement. Have you sat on the floor with treats to get him to come to you and sit by you and such?
