A video looking closely at dog play. How to create a safe environment, first meeting, unsafe play and danger signs
zak i really love your videos and lots of love from india and my dog is suddenly very aggressive when we walk by him or we get closer when he sleeps, he had already injured my grand mother there were no dog behaviourists to check on the issue of my dog but i dont know how to deal with it and it is very aggressive towards my grandmother and she is a paralysis patient and she walks very slow please help me i want to resolve the issue
I have an Australian Shepard/ Cattle dog mix. He is 3.5 months old and enjoys herding me, to the point, he's drawn blood. Yesterday, he bit me so hard, I lost my mind. I yelled, stomped, slammed a cabinet door and a few other things. I'm not proud of myself for getting so angry, but I have a bad ankle and he hit the wrong spot. I have tried throwing toys, treats, try to get him to follow a command and at that point nothing was working. I have never given up on a dog, but with him, I just don't know what to do. We have him in training, yet it feels like, when we get home, he becomes a little snot again.
I would love to see how you would train a dog to be fine with cats 😁
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
Biscuit is so cute but Inertia looks Incredibly well and healthy, her coat is so glossy. Wonderful training tips, as always. Thank you both.
Inertia is gorgeous!
What training tips? Trade for something she likes more with something the dogs already resource guarding? What? Does that make sense?
@@sevenohm155 the dog will learn that people touching or taking away their food doesn't mean they won't get food. instead they will let you, because they know something better will be a "trade" for the thing you took away.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still a huge fan of Zak; but I just want to say that I really enjoy seeing Zak and Bree "discussing" issues on camera. I know the "discussions" are scripted; but it's entertaining to me and they're so cute together. Bree is great on camera. Both of you are. I really do feel like you could have your own show on Animal Planet. Better yet, since it seems every network requires a subscription these days, maybe Amazon Prime or Netflix. I've been thinking that maybe you could have a series in which Zak is training a person to train a dog; and it kinda looks like that's where you're headed with Bree. She probably already knows; but it's a good story and good examples.
I really like how the two of you discussed growling and biting. It makes me contemplate and have a better understanding of my own dog too. It really shows how deep you are into dog training and understanding dog behavior. I appreciate it so much❤ Thank you and Happy Valentine's Day you two, Zak and Bree❤ I really like how healthy Inertia looks too, what a good girl. She is very patient as well😊
Been a fan since my dog Strax was a puppy himself, he's 6 years old now. So glad to see Brie getting more involved as it helps to see how another family member can be more involved with training. Would love to see Inertia have a day to herself, like a doggy spa day.
This was a really great video as Zak took a back seat n let Brie take on a leading role.
Seeing Zak work with dogs makes everything look simple n easy n that’s how the audience wud imagine training to be which is not the case.
And by having Brie take the lead, ( who is not as experienced compared to Zak ), really highlights the challenges that would be faced by most of us ( Not saying Brie is at our/my level, she certainly is ahead of us/me for many obvious reasons ).
Kudos to all of you for all the videos, but specially this episode 👍🏼👍🏼
This! Watching her try out his techniques makes our struggles more relatable.
Let’s see him take away what he traded for now.
By work do you mean endorse products?
I don’t see any dog training going on here.
I loved all the discussion of dog behavior in this video, especially the commentary while Inertia and Biscuits were interacting. It was helpful for people who don't have much experience with what healthy dog play looks like and how to identify body language.
Thanks to all of you :) for the great discussion and plenty of real demos and tips and realistic photo shots of puppy behaviour. Your channel is unofficially recommended by a dog trainer/walker who works at a vet recommended dog school in my city. This is where we intend to start for the live action with other dogs etc. It's work/play time a couple of times a day at our house and now it's not going to be something we just have to endure. Your approach takes a panic/bad feeling of not knowing how to communicate to my puppy and replace it with training and seeing the positive results is MY reward ;)
Good session. When I rescued a year old, hungry GSD, and I had 2 other dogs, I started by hand feeding him every meal. It worked - in the end.
Done the same thing with every rescue I have. It's great for teaching them not to resource guard and also to look to the human for good stuff.
I have a lil 30 pound Frenchie and I made sure based on your advice to address any resource guarding super early and it's been the most important training I've done when he was a tiny pup. Now at 4 years he's so easy around his food and toys and you can easily take anything away and he's chill and waits for it to be given back. So happy I've discovered your channel years ago, good stuff Zak and Co
Give us a compilation of Inertia playing with other dogs in a healthy manner. That’d be a great learning experience and enjoyable to watch for fun!
I can sit and watch the dogs play!! I’ve been having a really bad day. This video made me smile.
Great comments on the growling. With my last dog I was actually able to train and UTILIZE his growl AS a form of communication between us. With very careful and precise markers and the proper follow though and after a couple years, here's what I had. If I was accidentally doing something that was causing him physical discomfort (eg. if I caught some fur in a harness or seatbelt)...he would look at me with very soft eyes and let out a small growl and possibly rest his teeth gently on me....no aggression simply communication. He was an amazing dog.
I really loved the format of Bree doing the training and Zak coaching Bree!
I love how Brie is giving Biscuits a bath. I’m about to get my first puppy ever and I kinda think I’m an expert because I’ve been watching lots of your training videos. But it was good to see Brie, who has a lot more experience, move too fast. It makes my expectations more realistic.
My boy is six months old, in all the time I’ve had him I’ve only heard him growl maybe three times. He doesn’t have aggression issues or resource guarding problems but it still was surprising just because I don’t really ever hear it.
I never get upset when he growls, I acknowledge why he is growling as it’s usually a fear or unsureness response and find ways to introduce/desensitize him to the stressor. Growling is just a form of feedback that can help us learn how to work with our dogs to make them comfortable.
This video is just too cute. Them playing is just too wholesome. And Bree’s reaction to everytime biscuits snaps is just so authentic and her gasps made me laugh! 😂
I just LOVE that they're sharing with us how they're trying to think through the communication approach together instead of just saying: you're doing it wrong here's how to do it.
People need to realize that trainers put in the work to try different things and that each dog really is different however cliche that sounds. But also that every day is different and people have different approaches and need to be humble and not assume that they'll get it right immediately.
Sorry for the incoherent rambling. Bottom line is: great video.
I love that you guys are having the same issues now that I am with my pup!!
So really, Biscuits has been a great opportunity to show people what happens when you get a resource guarding pup! Poor little mite as you say, must have had to fight for everything with all those bigger stronger puppies. Truth be told, in my opinion the rescue didn't really do a good job in that regard and should have realised that she was too small to hold her own with all those bigger pups. Inertia has been doing a great job of being a Nanny and showing Biscuits how "its done" so to speak.
I've got an older giant breed girl called Juno who loves small dogs. It was fascinating when she was younger to watch her adapt her play style to play with small dogs. I boarded dogs in my home, so from 10 weeks, she met a huge number of dogs, bigger and smaller than her. Friends' giant breeds taught her how to be a "big dog" and boarders who were teensy taught her how to play with them. She learned very quickly that she had to dial it back. She would start off with her usual bouncy stuff and then when the small dog said "nope, not engaging with that rough stuff!" she would change her style and lay down while they climbed all over her. She was a big hit with the littles!
I always impress upon my class students and clients that they must never punish a growl and must always listen to what their dog is saying. You are right of course, that small dogs often have their needs ignored simply because they are small. I have never figured out why people do that; they have the same emotions and needs as larger dogs but somehow they aren't taken seriously. I've got quite a few clients with small dogs they describe are "acting up" but at the end of the day, when you are 10 inches tall, the world is a scary place and full of giants and if you are yelling "help me please!" and nobody is listening then for sure, you are going to try to get attention by acting out and get your needs met.
I have a lot of respect for u bringing your dog into your work and bring home dogs I don’t know how I would handle another dog doing that to mine
I'm so not used to little dogs, so this is really interesting to watch. When my dog was a puppy he was still bigger than biscuits 😂💞
Bisquits was so adorable with her little suitcase 🥰
Thanks Bree for showing us how it might be for us if we take the info and try it ourselves. I got an idea by watching you that I wouldn't have gotten if Zak does it because then my brain goes like "Zak's the expert, don't think of better ideas now!" Do you think it would have made a difference if you had put a towel in the sink? It kinda looked like biscuits was also afraid of the big drop into the shiny sink...
I love your videos. Most professional way of promotion I have ever seen. Very balanced with high value content.
I do think that might have helped! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that 😆
I'm so thankful that you addressed growling. My heeler mix is a growler, to let people know that she is uncomfortable. When my vet talked to us about her growling it really was an a-ha moment. I had intrepted it as aggression. We don't reinforce her growling at all. It has worked for us to remove her, distract her, anything to get her from her fear trigger. Any other ideas?
You can use desensitization and counter-conditioning to change her emotional response to people. But removing her from her trigger works.
Yes, I couldn't help but notice Inertia's glossy coat! So beautiful. And Biscuits is just adorable!
Good video. Makes sense about little Biscuits needing to growl to hold her own with that group of dogs. Stopping the growl and ending up with a bite… hmmm. Interesting stuff, guys! Thanks.💕Happy Valentine’s Day!
Zak I cant wait a week for these vids😆😆 can you post them any sooner? Love them!
You two are such a great couple! Love seeing Inertia and Biscuits play. Can you talk more about helping an old dog and puppy adjust to one another? I have a 12 year old and a 21-month old. I totally ruined my puppy's bath experience but she came in all muddy and I rushed her to the bathtub. Now she won't even come in the house after digging bc she knows she's going in the tub. Any way to remedy that?
Bree, you were so sweet and patient with her. My firs bath with my puppy was a wrestling match. It’s about time to do it again and I’m dreading it.
great you four❤❤ love the whole family being personally involved👍👍
Very interesting watching inexperienced Brie start the bath. It's how new puppy owners have to learn.
I think it's great how you can translate all the behaviour-ish lingo into real life language. Good on you 👏
you are very good at dog training, we just got a puppy and my mum watches you too!
Biscuits is adorable I love her and I cant wait for more keep up the awesome content zak and Bree I love the play sessions with inertia too
Inertia is such a good foster sibling!
Enjoyed watching the play session.
Also, Inertia's coat is so shiny!
I adopted a puppy today !!!
I’m so tired
I love your 🐕 how cute!! Your very good 👍 in what you do. Thank you for sharing with us. You are full of knowledge. I'm glad I found you so I can learn. I have a 10 year little 🐕 who thinks he's the boss. He's very smart. Could you possibly do a video on the different things that your dog is trying to tell you. I think I can read my baby but sometimes I can't figure out what he's trying to say to me. And when he's sick he tries to communicate with me but I can't always read him. So could you possibly do a video on how to read or listen to your dog when their trying to tell you something important. Thank you.🐕👍
You are both so patient, appreciate your insight. What type of harness is Biscuit wearing?
When I picked up my puppy it was very obvious the breeder had rushed his first baths, he was so frightened of water but using your methods I can now bath, blow dry and use clippers without him freaking out. Doesn’t enjoy it like my last dog did, but that’s ok considering when we picked him up he was afraid of rain and puddles.
Inertias coat is so shiny and bouncy👏👏 .. Bree you did a good job ..I think..🤣..we’ll wait to see what Zak says..🤣..💜
Hi Zak, Bree and Inertia! I've been looking for more videos on Biscuits, but this is the last one I can find. Did I miss later episodes? I follow you on Instagram too, but haven't seen anything current. Thanks a whole bunch for all of these trainers. It truly is hard work and a labor of love to work with a dog. I'm 2 months in with my year old Lab rescue. She and I have watched some of your videos (separation anxiety and leash pulling) multiple times. **Sigh**
Bree I think you did a fantastic job with bath training!!! 🎉😊👍 it is always so tempting to just drop them in and go for it but you were patient rewarded with plenty of treats had a peanut butter wall ready and took it by slow steps! Great job in my book!
Three things!
1. Can we take a minute and make this better known about small dogs and their behavior! Just because they are small doesn't mean it's cute! And yes such great points about the growling. I feel ever person who is going to own a small dog, should have to be required to watch Zak and Bree talk about that!!!
2. Inertia coat is so freaking shiny and she is such a great dog! Dog goals!!! 💯
3. I love Zak's smirk when Bree is talking at the end of the video. He is so proud of her! I love it. And good job Brie! 💜🐾😁
Excited Bree is starting to train and walk us through her thinking process. I think she thinks more like a beginner than zak so that gives us a different perspective. Thanks guys. You’re doing great.
My 🐕 grouls when she wants to play with another dog which is so wierd. She will take her ball and groul to the other dog that she wants to play with her. She has her play groul & her warning groul which I got really good to recognize both.
Don't worry, Brie. Nothing is as easy as Zak makes it look!
A thing I learned is to not practice resource guarding too often. We did this method (bring a higher value treat to trade) for a full month, and I really wanted it to work so tried several times every day, and I think that frustrated her and us as well. It even got worse.
Well maybe that's because it doesn't work? If it did, you would have results by now. Try teaching an "out" command with the help of a balanced trainer or with youtube/patreon tutorials.
@@psalm1047 She does "leave it" very well :)
When I said "it got worse", I meant she was growling more often, but she never snapped. Not once. I do think the method works, I just want people to know that for some dogs, when you do it too often, they become sensitive/frustrated and I would not do it 3 times a day like I did. Now, I'm doing it less often and it works a lot better.
@@psalm1047 You sound like you don't agree with this style of training. Plenty of those other trainers on youtube. Just wondering why you are here.
The Biscuits edition have been so helpful on how to deal with biting and resource guarding in a little dog. The tips about how to understand the dogs POV and deal with aggression more positively are so great. I've got two small dogs who have some really bad resource guarding behavior and I think this is going to help a lot.
biscuits is a cute brat. and Inertia is just a lovely personality
I did not learn anything about "How to Train Your Puppy to STOP SNAPPING at YOUR PETS" by watching this video.
Whenever we got our dog, she was just 2 months old, and didn’t have any problems with other dogs. Until we took her to a friends house, where she was attacked my their dog. Now freaks out at other dogs. Is this due to fear, & being traumatized?? & is there a way we can fix this?? Also, she met my uncle’s dog before she was attacked, & she’s completely fine with her. So that’s why we think that her fear/aggression started from the attack.
Love this format!!!!
So this is what my dog learned when I practiced this method: If I guard an item sooner or later my human is going to offer me something even more valuable. If I guard more often and stronger (not only getting stiff and growling but also snapping) I will get more and more!! Let's do this!
My dog is a streetdog and he's pretty intelligent. I just want to point out that this method has some severe potential to not make anything better but worse. I'm not saying the dog does this to trick me or to fool me, he's just an opportunist. And freaking clever. I personally secure my dog with a muzzle in advance and take the item he guards. He's just starting to not be successful with his behaviour. I'm not screaming at him or anything. I'm just calm and taking the item. That's what worked for us. And no. He didn't start to become more aggressive because "oh she's taking all my stuff and I have to guard even more!" because I don't take all his stuff. Even though he is still guarding I'm confident and calm enough to not make a serious conflict out of every guarding situation.
Please be careful with the method that is shown here! I'm not saying it's wrong it's just not always that easy especially not with clever dogs.
Yesss Brie we love you, not saying we don’t love Zak too but I love the videos Brie stars in because zak makes it all looks so easy
Brie is really getting more involved, its great to see! :)
I had a Rottweiler and you could take her food away!!! But my golden retriever would Growl at you!!! I did the Caesar Milan method!! Your Method is a lot more kinder!!!! Wish I had know about you than!!!! Ann -_UK
My small dog gets very defensive of things she picks up on the beach or at the park (chicken bones, dead fish etc). I watch her like a hawk, but she can sniff out the bad stuff so fast I can’t always get her away from it in time. It’s starting to suck the joy out of taking her for walks. How do you deal with getting something potentially dangerous off a dog who’s guarding it, when nothing you have is high enough value to trade?
The first time I bathed my little dog ( puppy, part Chihuahua ~ when I got him at 10 weeks ) in the tub I put a big shallow round plastic wash basin in it. I filled the wash basin half way with warm water and trickled the faucet. I put little plastic kids floating green froggies into the basin. I then put the pup into the tub singing the Bumblebee song. ( I used to be a preschool teacher). The frogs floating in the basin really interested him. Next thing I knew he was jumping in the basin for a few seconds and then back out into the tub. He kept doing this until he was almost all wet. Eventually he was grabbing the frogs and jumping around in the water, having a good old time. I then soaped him just a little bit with fragrance free hypoallergenic puppy shampoo from the neck down and turned the water up a little bit. He loved that and started drinking from the stream of water getting his head wet. I had to make sure he didn’t drown himself. He eventually regulated himself. I then turned it up more and began rinsing him off with a cup. He ran around a bit in the tub, but didn’t really mind it much ( since he was already soaked). He jumped back in and out the basin with the frogs on and off while I was rinsing him. I then got a towel and called him to the edge of the tub and rubbed his little face with it and then wrapped him in it rubbing him vigorously. He just grunted and surely seemed very happy. He now absolutely loves a bath. For him it’s a play session and special time I give to him. It’s so cute. This little guy even cries to get in with me sometimes when I take a shower. I just tell him “wait” and he will lay down in the bathroom knowing I’ll get him a “ tubby” ready soon. Since he’s bathed so often I only use a teeny bit of shampoo and luke warm water. He’s most always clean an shiny.
So.... we should resist the urge to overpower and teach instead. Treat the grumbling as communication and an indication of discomfort. Sometimes I wonder what how much nicer of a world we would be living in if we applied your dog and puppy training principles to raising children and treatment of people in general. Thnx again.
Hi Zak :) Love the series. Quick question, just curiosity, have you ever dealt with real aggression?
Hello! Great training!
Ilove how your training biscuit keep it up
Thanks to Zack’s helpful tips. I hope you can help my reversed situation. April is a 11 years old female small dog , 11 pounds. Her only experience with other dog was with OJ. OJ passed away and I adopted another Summer, Summer is a male 7 month puppy 25 pounds who loves to play . he smell at April a lot and exciting to play, but April doesn’t want to play, bark and showed anger. Summer had basic obedient cross but he ignored instructions at the moment , instead he starts to bark and showed his teeth, acted like attacking, it always leading to uncontrollable mess. how can I train Summer to back out when April do not want to play?
Hey Zak and Bree! I need to work on leash manners with my 1 y/o border collie. He is VERY receptive to toys, but not treats. Could you guys make a video on how to train leash manners using toys? I'm not necessarily sure I get the picture on how that works. He knows many commands, but if you give him an inch on the leash he will take a mile, and I recently had back surgery so I need this figured out haha! Thanks!!
This would be great! My Border Collie is also right at 1 year old and he pulls so much, he's broken a harness already! Our other dog does fantastic on a leash though!
Look at Inertia leveling up those dodging skills 😂. She is swift and a great older sister
Hey Zak,
Love your videos, giving some really good tips. We have 2, 12 week old sibling pups. Training going pretty well individually but together a bit of a nightmare. Any ideas on how to cut down on the puppy battles?
Really liked your book, it's simple written.
I really utilized drop it, leave it, and walk on when i started my cattle dog. It works wonders!
Thank you
Will you guys do a genetic test on Biscuits before she's adopted? I'm so curious what breeds she's a mix of!
Yes!
4:22 inertia waiting patiently for her turn to be on the bed 😁❤️
Thank for the great tips. I wish you may help my reversed situation. Apple is 9 year small female dog(11 lbs), who doesn’t have experience with other dogs other than OJ . OJ passed away and I newly adopted a large 28 lbs, 8 month large male puppy,Summer. Summer is very playful , smell at April a lot, but April doesn’t want to play, it always leading to ugly situations . Summer had basic obedience class but he ignored any instruction , and start to bark and show his tooth,acted like to attack, how can I train Summer to back out when April doesn’t like to play?
Love your videos. My Australian Shepard/Catahoula mix has resource guarding issues just with other dogs, not humans. She will growl to warn and has attacked my other dog just for coming near a closed bag of dog food. How do you fix that? Is this in your second book? I have both of your books in cart on Amazon. I need to fix it before my new puppy comes home in March.
Zak, playing tug of war with Biscuit, does that make a dog that tends to nip and bite become more aggressive? Thanks.
That's one of the myths about tug of war. When played correctly, tug of war does not make a dog nippier or more likely to bite and become aggressive. Here's a real short primer on how to play tug of war: www.clickertraining.com/node/3620
Hey Zak any tips on how to get my mini dachshund puppy to stop picking at the carpet and eating it it’s the only bad habit she has and idk what to do
Inertia is mother-training Biscuit. Impressive.
Love love love your videos!! Any Canadian equivalent to Nom Nom ?? Thanks 😊
I’m enjoying this series SO MUCH! Biscuits is just such a nut job and I love it. Inertia is also suuuuch an amazing doggo!
She’s so cute! I have mean dogs and they bite me so ima try this.
Hi Zac, have you worked with a Scottish Terrier? Just curious. But I don’t know if you have a video that can teach me how to stop my dog to act all possessive or defensive when around me or my family with other dogs
I feel that over a longer period of time, the only time I "punished" the growl was at me, and over time he now really only growls when we tug.
Thanks so much for your videos. I'm wondering if you can give suggestions on training an 8-week old standard goldendoodle puppy with regards to our two older dogs (13 year old cockapoo and 9 year old cavapoo, weighing 11# and 13#). The puppy is bigger than they are and she really wants to play with them, but there's a LOT of snarking/growling going on and I don't want any of them to get hurt. The 9-year old is now very skittish of the puppy and runs away with her tail tucked. The 13-year old is attempting to defend herself, but the puppy is very bold and used to playing rough with her littermates. We've only had the puppy home for a week. What do you suggest?
What kind of chew is that (the one biscuits is guarding)? That would be perfect for my dog. Thanks!
Brie and Biscuit look very similar, that's so cute!
We have a new puppy and I was wondering if this was reversed and Inertia was the one growling/snapping when the puppy took something from her, would you correct that? I’m finding it tough to identify what’s an appropriate correction from my older dog vs possessive behaviour. He’s not possessive with food or toys towards us, only the puppy 🤔
Puppy is 14wks old so we’re still working on manners and sharing. Our older dog is wonderful and has been teaching him a lot, so I trust he won’t over correct or hurt the puppy, I’m just unsure where the line is between puppy correction and resource guarding / possessiveness
My 3 month puppy is like this. Hes a chihuahua. I'm training him everyday and spending time training. Hope he grows out of this. The nipping Is a pain
How’s “McFly” doing?
Steve, the guy of the couple who adopted him, replied to a comment on Zak's last video of Chop/McFly being introduced to his new home, and I was able to find photos of them with McFly and another dog they have, hiking in the mountains of Alaska, and of McFly hitched up and pulling Steve on cross-country skis, and on a fat bike. McFly's living an adventurous life with active humans and canine company.
I think Brie did a great job and Biscuits will be fine. I do wonder though, if Biscuits might have handled it even better if the water was much closer, up onto her body, instead of dripping on her from so far up🤔
Is the bottom of the sink slippery? Does it have something grippy or a towel for puppy to brace if they slip
What about resource guarding against another dog? My miss 9m has just started negative barking toward miss 22m. Only with chews and bones. They're fed separately. Miss 9m is making my already skittish 22m old fearful of her. Any advice please? I need this to stop
So cute when Biscuits is running around with her favorite toy . Actually growling is sometimes even just a noise for dogs . Some growl while playing , for example tug . Then it isn't meant serious at some dogs , just to "spice up" the game . While Biscuits .....well she snaps like a crocodile . You might change her name to "Ginger" . ( "Does she bite ? "- "No , Ginger snaps ." )
True. My Rottweiler growled when he had the football in his mouth and when you tried to get it. No teeth were shown but if you didn't know any better you'd mistake it for aggression but he loved it and always brought the ball back for more
Bree might need to adopt this puppy...
Love the video still wondering what breed she is?
What is the chew Biscuits is guarding? Where can I buy that?
Could you give me some advice please. I have a 9 yr old Labrador and a 13 week old puppy Lab. Older dog is very soft and won't even chastise pup and he tries running away into another room to get away from puppy as he's started nipping and jumping at my older boy and I don't know what to do.
How do I stop my dog from body guarding. He went to a groomer I had used before and now he won’t let us brush him or get groomed. He jumps or snaps if we touch him. We now have to get him sedated to get a groom. I don’t know what to do.
I have continued to watch he doesn’t growl ever at all just snaps
What if the problem isn't resource guarding? My 6 mo old JackChi gets grouchy -- maybe when tired? When he gets up from a nap he plays, wants pets, I can rough around and touch him anywhere. When it's probably time for a nap he'll growl and/or snap if I touch him wrong (like his tail, or sometimes even his head). Last night he laid down on the bed and looked so cute so I gave him a gentle head rub and he growled and bared his teeth. I have his sister from a previous litter and she was never like that. Could it be because he's male? Going through puberty? Is it just a phase, or do I need to find a way to show him that's "not okay"? Not sure how to do it, this is the closest info I found so far. TIA!
