We have a 5 month old Cocker. This morning I was eating some almonds. He wanted some, he kept jumping around me. So, I made him do a sit and gave hime one. OK, but that wasn't enough for him. I was sitting on the sofa and he jumped up straight for my mouth while I was eating. Now, he didn't do any damage, though I felt his teeth a little bit. He was trying to grab the food I guess. This to me looks like a dominance issue. Am I right?
Also, last night, I was having a hard time taking him for a walk. He would just sit down on the ground on all fours and refuse to move. I had to pull him a few times till I finally got him moving.
I have been trying to make him work for his food, making him do sit, stay and come for his meals. Any other ideas?
