Ok, Trace hasn't bit anyone BUT....last night he was chewing a pig ear and my daughter touched his back....he spun around growling and snapped at her. I snatched him up immediately by the scruff of his neck. Not hard enough to hurt him but it startled him and he cried. (course then she felt guilty and picked him up and loved on him....he gave her kisses)... Took the ear away. He does not react this way to hubby and me. He let us take it from him. Now we don't go around taking his food or treats away, but I don't like this aggressive behavior. Today it's food, whose to say, that it might happen with any item he decides we shouldn't touch?

Now today, he had a pig ear, and a male coworker bent down to see what he had and he did the same thing. So obviously it's not a gender thing.

I do not want him to react this way regarding food, but I'm unsure how to handle it. Any advice?
