What does it mean when a dog air snaps?

An air-snap means the dog made a conscious decision not to bite. All of these signals are warnings from the dog. The dog is telling you the situation is too much for him, and that a bite may follow. These warnings need to be taken seriously, even when the warning is relatively subtle (e.g., a lip lick).

How do you treat fly snapping syndrome?
