I could put him in another room when anyone is eating. As far as treats go, I can easily give treats no problem. When he eats his food there is no problem. You can't give him a bone and take it away. He grabs it and starts drooling profusley and walks all around to until he can take it outside. If he can't go out he will find a quiet spot alone. I love him so much and it hurts me to know that he gets this way with certain things. When he bit my foot. I walked away from the situation and called him to me, made him sit then coaxed him to lay down and he turned on his side and laid his head dow. He was kind of shakey. Like he was not in control of himself. He does not like to be in trouble. It is like he feels threatened and his instincts to protect himself come out. I have never had a dog like this before.
