My beloved rescue JRT who’s about 12 has always been snappy on and off (although very affectionate) but over the last few months he’s become increasingly aggressive. It’s got to the stage where I’m scared to touch him and DD won’t go anywhere near him.
He hasn’t bitten anyone yet but the constant snarling and snapping is very worrying. I’ll take him to the vet but I suspect this might be doggy dementia. He’s also started peeing in the house when he didn’t before. Does anyone have any tips on how to handle the situation?
