Here's another question for you all. Rocko is now 10 weeks, and just yesterday he started being protective of his food bowl. From the first time we fed him, we have put our hands in his food, taken it away and such to make sure he wouldn't "attack" when eating. We had changed his food for the first time yesterday and I put the bowl down and as he was eating I went to move it and he growled and snapped at me. I've never seen or heard him act like that. Today, even though the bowl is empty, when the cats go in the kitchen he runs after them making sure they don't go near the bowl. I don't want that in my house with the animals. And lately when he gets hungry and it gets close to feeding time he has been trying to bite us. I know it's probably his way of letting us know, but I need something that's not so "violent". Any suggestions on how to stop or change these behaviors?
