Toby is 9 months and had an op earlier this month to remove his femoral head. He has been very spoiled and I have been walking on egg shells around him.

Problem is, now he thinks he is boss.

When I try to cut his nails, or take his coat off him, he snaps at me. Not at all vicious, more like a frustrated warning, but no doubt something that could progress in time.

Do I continue doing what I am trying to do, eg cutting his nails, and let him bite me, or do I put him out and ignore him for a while?
