Why is my dog suddenly aggressive and biting when I touch him?

Question

He turned and is becoming more agressive day by day. Bites for being held, when showering, when trying to get a dress him. What can I do to make him calm and less agressive? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | 1 year old

Oh dear, Zed is really quite aggressive! Aggression is very dangerous behavior to work with it, and it's best left to a professional. I would speak to your vet about a referral to a professional behavioral expert, who can work with him on his aggression. I never recommend having an owner train an aggressive dog themselves due to the danger. If Zed isn't neutered, I would have him neutered as soon as possible, as that may help decrease any aggressive behaviors that are hormonally related.
