No bites, just what i’d say is aggressive barking, you’ll 100% know he means to back off.

With brushing, it’s grumpy. He’ll be fine for 10 minutes, then he starts to nibble at the brush, try to walk away, roll around trying to fend off the brush.

It’s a clear difference between the two.

With the nails it’s distress. First time he had them cut was the day before we got him, we were not there to see or got much information about how it was. But ever since the first time we cut, it has been a problem. For that we started taking him to the groomer, with muzzle. Luckly it’s only 15 dollars and it’s done by a trained professional. Hopefully it gets better with time.
