Hi there! Thanks for you question. Oh dear, sounds like a lot is going on! Thank you for the picture- he looked like a sweet guy despite the troubles you mention. From you description, it sound like he may have a little fear aggression as well as anxiety. I would strongly encourage you to seek the council of your full service veterinarian as well as seek advice from a canine behaviorist and dog trainer. Depending on what they diagnosis, he may need behavioral modifications to his and your daily routine, Rx medications if warranted by your veterinarian, and some dedication with training on your part. I hope all goes well and best of luck to you and Ceasar!
