Hi There,
Something has been bothering me about my pup.
He is just over 5 months old & I am crazy about him....he has settled in very well at home.
I recently started to give him "pigs ears" as a treat. He was happily chewing on one recently & for some reason I had to go over to him as he was sitting against the washing machine (which I needed to get to)......& he snarled at me....hunched over his pigs ear & it was quite scary. I have noticed since then that if I go near him when he is eating a treat, he thinks i'm trying to take it away, he will growl at me & I really don't like it.
Shoudn't I, if I wanted to, be able to take anything away from him? I'm not trying to be cruel, I am mad about him & he is very well looked after but I don't like this behaviour.
I can put my hands in his food bowl no bother, I pick up bits of his food out of his dish when he is eating & he eats them from my hands...it jsut seems to be the treats that cause the problem.
Suggestions welcome
Thank you.
