Wow...today Wallee decided to grab a $20.00 bill my husband dropped. When my husband went to take it from him, he said he growled very loudly and snapped and tried to bite him. He was unable to "yell" at him as I suggested as I was on the phone with a client while it happened. I fear this is going to become a big problem if this continues. I then tried dropping the money a couple times in front of him and telling him firmly to "LEAVE IT' and he backed away and looked at me. I know that a couple of you mentioned using the rolled papers to scare him, however when he has something that you need to take from him, you don't always have time to run and grab the paper. I sure hope that we can scold him loudly and get him to stop this before it becomes a very big problem.
He just turned 7 months and I have him scheduled to be neutered November 15th so hopefully that too will help with his "attitude" that is developing. Kind of makes me worried that I am not such a good mommy as he is trying to be in charge of us. I have been so careful to treat him like a doggie and not a person, even took him to puppy socialization classes and do some sit, down, quiet training with him.
Please tell me we will be able to correct this behaviour before he bites someone.
