Gee, I wish Carrie (a veteran Pet Talker) were still around. She's a dog behaviorist and always had such great advice. But I don't think she'd give any better advice than micki!I remember Carrie being appalled that any of us would ever allows our dogs to sleep in our beds with us. It has the potential of causing just such issues as you have described. I think getting him on the "nothing in life is free" program is a great suggestion. It does really sound as though he's trying to assume the alpha role!
