Can anyone please help me . I have a 2yr old male pug/boxer mix in the past year he has been bitin really for no reason trying to move him, get up, putting thunder jacket on etc. I don’t understand … He is very affectionate most of the time yet skiddish and afraid if everything and new people til he gets to know them . I am extremely frustrated and feel he has trust issues I rescued him from a house full of pugs for sale (free) b/c I felt bad the living conditions were filthy and disgusting to say the least!
Someone/anyone thoughts/ help??
Thank you

If he is afraid of many things, than he is likely biting because he’s scared and feels a need to defend himself. Perhaps he has been roughly handled in the past and is not comfortable with your hands on style. He may also have pain somewhere, so moving him causes him discomfort and he is lashing out at what he believes is causing the pain.
What are you doing to build his trust in you?
