My lovely Bichon is becoming aggressive whenever we touch his head for grooming or to clean his eyes.

    Hi there, A dog that becomes aggressive when their head is touched might simply be expressing pain or discomfort. In Bichons, eye, dental, ear, or even joint issues can make being handled very unpleasant. I’d recommend having your dog checked over by your vet to rule out a medical cause before concluding it's a behavioural issue. In the meantime, try to avoid forcing any contact and stick to gentle handling paired with positive rewards. Best regards, Romane
