| Help! Need advice! Marley is almost ten and is a rescue yorkie. I am wondering if anyone else ha experienced aggression towards people at night time even you as the owner. Marley will guard random things at random times an will even try to bite me. He also latley has flaky skin and is shedding bad! The past couple weeks he has been rubbing his butt on the carpet ... He burps he also has loud rumbles in his tummy .. There is other smalls thins he has done that are concerns me. I have changed his food to natural source a few day ago. And I'm hoping this will help the dry skin and shedding along with the upset tummy and gas. But I'm wondering about anal glands ? How do I know if he needs them expressed |

| I have heard that if a dog starts to show aggression and never has bf it could be that he is ill. I would take him to the vet and make sure everything is ok... Sending prayers

| Hi and Welcome to YT! Rubbing the butt on the carpet can indicate that the anal glands need expressing. As for the guarding and biting, have you considered having a professional trainer come in? (Safest option) Also general obedience training may help.

| Do you think his aggression is from pain. I have taken him when he first štarted. He didn't find anything wrong . People say its because he is old. |
