So a couple days ago I took my pyr on a car ride to the grocery store because he loves going in the car. Me and him waited in the parking lot with the ac on. After a little while I noticed that his lip started quivering (like a dog that's about to growl or is upset) but he didn't actually growl or fully show his teeth. I was kind of shocked because I didn't understand why he was doing it but he stopped doing it relatively quickly. When i got home I came up with the conclusion that the AC was blowing directly on his nose and that upset him. Today I again took him in the car to the park with the ac off and windows rolled down. When he got back in the car I noticed he started with the lip quivering again but no growling or fully showing teeth or anything like that and he stopped the behavior shortly after.

So my question is what do you guys think is going on? Should I be correcting this behavior? Is he upset about something in particular? Or is this just a quirky pyr behavior thing?

Everything else is perfectly normal with him btw. He's eating fine, playing, cuddling, giving hugs etc. He's never displayed any aggressive behavior towards me, my mom, strangers, or dogs. Me and my mom always joke that this is the world's friendliest dog lol

Thanks for your help

I go to this park by my house everyday to bring my pyr biscuit because he loves to sniff around and walk around. Long story short I was walking to get back to my car and as soon as I turn the corner to start heading there I see a German shorthaired pointer loose and he locks eyes with my dog immediately (who is leashed), and my heart immediately sunk. The GSP immediately starts barking and charges my dog, him and my dog sniff nose to nose and then he immediately starts snapping/ trying to bite my dog, growling, and barking. Mind you my dog is extremely friendly, he's not the most social or playful on leash but he would never ever attack much less even growl. During the commotion her other dog who was down by the bank of the river comes charging up the hill and tries to bite and snap at my dog too. Luckily I was able to make a lot of loud noises and stomps while holding my dog back to run them off.

The owner slowly starts coming up the hill of the riverbank and I gave her a good piece of my mind with some curse words and what not because if it's one thing that's gonna make me really angry it's someone trying to hurt my loved ones, which my pyr is to me. Would you believe this lady had the nerve to say her dog is friendly???? So I gave her more of a piece of my mind but I didn't want the situation to escalate so I just left.

My poor lil buddy biscuit went to his favorite napping corner as soon as we made it home I'm sure he was a bit traumatized, poor thing. I checked him thoroughly and I couldn't find any bite marks or anything thankfully. I think all the floof saved him lol

My question is, what can I carry that's non-lethal that can help to get me out of situations like this easily in the future or just any general advice you have on these type of situations would be helpful. Thanks everyone
