Sometimes it is just their personality, my peke looks like a teddy bear so everyone wants to touch him, but he has always been irritable and cranky. He is 14 years old. I socialized him as much as I could, and I think this helped. But, it is my responsibility to warn people not to approach him….although, I am the only one he has actually bitten.
I have a “Beware of Dog” sign on my gate because of him, lol
PS: I had good results with the Thundershirt in his younger days, thunderstorm phobia.
You can always use it as a dog coat….
