@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON He acts like that.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON The attacking is random. It's not something I created. Yeah, he is not respecting me.

Surrender him to the local animal shelter if it gets too much.
Not something one would want to do but if things are out of hand...
The only issue there though is they may charge a fee for taking in more animals.
Me, I would gladly surrender all my neighbor's dogs to the shelter, even pay for it.

Okay, I had a Maltese, also, and he developed the same aggressive habits. They do NOT like to be the only dog, and they HATE to be alone.
The only thing that will cure him is another dog.

@4meAndyou I've thought about getting another little dog before. Maybe he'll have someone to play with rather than being alone whenever I'm not home.

@disturbedchicken It's a peculiarity of the breed. They become aggressive and want to be the top dog, even over their human. If they have another dog with them, for some reason they calm down.
I was watching a youtube vid of an aggressive dog. Turned out his teeth were rotting and he was in pain all the time. Once they got that sorted out he settled down.

@JamesBugman Cesar Milan episode? :)

Are you giving him the attention he needs ?
Are you walking him ... not just do go to the bathroom ?
Are you exercising his brain ?
Dogs need proper stimulation and exercise otherwise issues occur
Do you take him to vets for annual checkups as it could be a medical issue ?

@pdockal Bingo!
As Cesar puts it:
Exercise (and mental stimulation): It's key because like a child, if your dog is deprived of this NATURAL need, they WILL become destructive/anxious/ develop unhealthy coping outlets-behavior problems.
Discipline: This entails: Rules, boundaries, limitations.
Lastly: Affection :)

The dog does not hate you.
He is likely in physical pain or traumatized....possibly from a hidden injury during grooming, or because the experience was stressful. Now, your presence is linked in his mind with pain and discomfort, so he is defending himself.
His reactions are not random; dogs always give warning signs like growling, but people often miss them.
For now, stop trying to touch or pet him. Give him space. Take him to a vet to check for any cuts, infections, or pain. Training will not help in this situation. First, address the pain. Then slowly rebuild trust...let him come to you.
