Any ideas on how to train Stump to not be agressive. We give him these bones that he loves more than anything. And tonight I was playing with him and it's funny because you touch the other end of the bone while hes chewing it and he will growl. I always thought it was cute, and well this time he jumped up and bit my finger. He has nibbled before when he was a pup. But this was a full on bite. My finger is still throbbing from it.

Anyway, my question is how can I teach him to not be like this?I know I probably shouldn't have taken it from him and messed with him while he was chewing it. But I don't want my dog to be agressive, Especially if he were ever around a child who took it away from him. Who knew his small teeth could hurt so bad.
