| My baby has turned into a monster...HELP! I have had Mr Jenkers for about 2 months now. He was born Jan. 1st so he is still young. Heres what happend.....Yesterday I gave him a edible chew toy and was just playing when I tried to take it from him and he attacked my arm bitting and growling like something from a movie. So this morning I gave him breakfast and wanted to see if he would do it again so i tried to take his bowl and he acted like a monster again. Then I just tried to pet him while he was eating and the same thing. I dont know what to do about this very bad bahavior. Any suggestions please. VALERIE |

| Thats food aggression. The only time Chachi did that to us My Husband told him no and flipped him over on his back and held him in that position. Its called thee alpha roll and not everyone agrees with it but it worked for my chachi. I woulkd also make him sit and wait for his food. Also continue taking the food bowl away from him untill he understands that it belongs to you. I have also heard if they are having aggression problems you shouldnt let them sleep with you but we didnt do that to chachi and we got him to stop. You are just wanting to do things that establish you are the pack leader not him
