my shiba snaps and tries to bite
Hey guys i’ve been struggling with this issue for the last year, my boy ryu has been snappy with us and usually he’s really nice and sweet he’s 4 years old and we neutred him when he was 3. We always say bye and touch his head or hug him before we leave the house but now when we do that he snaps or growls. Now we see the signs when we say bye to him before we touch him such as ( whale eyes, flattening ears , and tilting head down, showing of teeth) but my mom has gotten bitten twice and i have once. He lets us touch him and talk to him with no issues except his trigger words are shower and saying bye before we leave the house. i tried reccomending my parents about taking him to a behaviorist but they dont believe in it and think it’s a waste of money and to try and correct him myself. Any tips or helps please? :( (not to mention he gets very sweet and follows us and shows his belly as if he feels bad right after)
