3 year old snapping at me HELP I have a Yorkie (Rocky) who will be 3 in August. He is usually the most lovable dog - kisses everyone. I have taken him everywhere with me since he was 9 weeks old. Recently I noticed him gently biting people when they try to pet him which he never did before. Its a more playful bite but I just getting concerned. Also he usually sleeps with me and when I went to pick him up from the sofa to take him to bed last week he flipped - growling at me and snapping. I thought I woke him and scared him so I let it go. But he did it again last night. I really don't know what's going on. I think he feels bad afterwards because he comes to bed and starts trying to give me kisses like he's sorry??? Just getting nervous because he is normally just a lovable dog. |
Maybe he's not feeling well? Have you had him to the vet lately? Maybe something is bothering his little body and he doesnt want to be touched right now. I would definitely have him checked to rule out a physical issue. |
Yes, have him checked first to make sure he's healthy. Some dogs are grumpy once they're comfortable and sleeping. 1 of my dog is like that. I have to wake him up slowly by rubbing his belly and then pick him up. If I just pick him up instantly he'll growl and snap at me. |
We have realized that Rocky does not like to be moved or disturbed while sleeping so we slowly wake him up if we need to move him. I guess he takes after his mother - grumpy when woken up! Health was fine :-) |
