Thanks Whispersmom and vainchick! I know I probably should have done it myself but I have a hard time punishing him (which is something I know I should get over). We are never cruel or mean; we do the dominance roll thing and the "staring contest" to show dominance, and we bark or squeal to teach them not to do certain things like bark at people. He's kinda unfazed by the water bottle (even with a little vinegar in it) so maybe I'll try his can of pennies. I will try giving him the treat again later tonight and attempt to quell some of the aggression. I'm just not sure why he is acting like this in the particular instance. I even tested the waters and gave him a different kind of treat and did the same thing and he let me take it with no problem. |
