i'm not sure if this is something i can leave alone or somehow discourage.
my bunjee, when he plays with his toys, especially the stuffed ones, likes to growl and hiss as he attacks a toy, grabs it in his mouth and shake it around aggressively. won't pay attention to me when i tell him "STOP" and will in fact try to play tug of war with me if i try to take it from him, to which i respond with "LET GO" followed by a squirt of water.

is this the beginnings of aggressive behavior that i should curb now, rather than later? if so, how? or is this regular puppy behavior that i can leave well enough alone?
