I would love for him to be the sweet little boy that he was when I first got him, but if I can't have that without so much stress (to him and me) I'll just have to love him when he wants me to and leave him alone when he's being ornery. I guess this is a case of having to pick your battles |
Do you mean rolling him over on his back and holding him down to try to make him submit? You can't force submission, and doing this over and over will make him more aggressive. This may be why he's pouting.
Exactly what does he do when you return home? How old is he? How long have you had him? How long has he been doing this behavior you don't like?
