He has his emotional ups and downs - is almost always good with me. Was crate trained when we got him - only felt safe in the crate - sleeps in the crate at nighb because of this and being too interested in my cats at night. He has no problem with the cats. Is jealous of my husband's affection toward our shepard mix 10 year old dog. Started out being my husband's dog - and then started snapping at him for no reason. Now he is "my dog" but is either hyperactive one day and then very quiet another day. He evidently was fed table scraps (vet says he's1-2 years old and he was not neutered when we got him - matted coat - running at night on a freeway in Phoenix) because feeding him is a problem. Does not like any kind of kibble - sporatic eater - mostly chicken or beef and loves cottage cheese). What can my husband do to stop the dog from snapping at him - the dog seems to like my husband, but if dog is sleeping on bed or not facing him will whirl around, snapping, growling and getting in my husband's face. Any help you can give will be appreciated. He has been vet checked, neutered, shots, etc and was found to be in good health. We have had a rescued maltipoo for about three months.
