Every day, I come home to an unexpected sight: my usually calm dog, Max, has become increasingly irritable. Once a sweet and gentle companion, Max now growls and snaps at even the slightest disturbances. His sudden change in behavior has left me both worried and perplexed.
Max’s anger seems to have no clear cause. He reacts aggressively to small noises, sudden movements, and even when I try to approach him for affection. It’s as if he’s on edge all the time, and this new behavior is taking a toll on both of us.
I’m reaching out to fellow dog owners and experts for help. Has anyone experienced a similar situation with their pet? What could be causing Max’s outbursts? Could it be a sign of pain or discomfort, or is there an underlying issue that I’m not aware of?
Your advice and insights would be incredibly valuable as I try to understand and help Max. Together, we can work towards bringing back the calm and happy dog I once knew.
