Our nearly 9 month old pup who has always been super friendly and loves other dogs has suddenly decided he dislikes other puppies.
Example, bouncy puppy comes and plays and is over excited, bats his face and doesn’t take a growl to mean go away and keeps trying to play he gets really snarly and aggressive so we have had to put him on the lead and walk away. This has happened with three different puppies on the last week.
Is this adolescent behaviour or something more? I don’t understand why he doesn’t like puppies anymore (being a puppy still himself - although a small breed so matures quicker than a larger dog).
It’s worrying. me that he will become aggressive, do I need to get him neutered to stop this, first time dog owner so no idea if this is normal for this age or something else going on?
