Dr. Cliff Redford

He likes to get me to rub his belly.

Well, in all those situations, he has told you what to do and you've followed.

And then as soon as you...

do something that he didn't tell you to do, he has the one sort of way of stopping you, and that's becoming violent and snapping at you.

So this is something that, you know, this is going to take some work because he also has the possessive issues.

I would say take all of his toys away.

Make sure he understands commands like sit.

If you love him, this is where I do the Jewish guilt and I'm not even Jewish.

If you love him.

I like it.

I know, I know.

God forbid.

You love him so much, you have to do this in order for him to be happy and healthy for the rest of his life.

He's only two years old.

Imagine when he's 10 and you have to put ear medication into his ear and he doesn't like it.

If he's had 10 years of being in charge, you got a real problem.

So...

Take away all of his toys.

He does not get fed until he sits and he sits calmly.

And if he jumps up or if he growls or something, you take his food away and you put it up somewhere where he can see it, but he can't reach it, which is not hard for a multi-poo.
