Bunnyrhae,
Thank you very much and you're right I have to remember who's boss. I have to admit, I gave in becuase I didn't want to upset him and I wasn't quite sure why this was happening. He doesn't do any of this with any other treats, justthe Greenie toothbrushes. I will definitely try your advice this evening when he get's his treats. Little kids are not a problem, especially since I don't have any, but ;ike you said, I want to nip this is the bud now, before it gets worse.
