Question:

Our JRT Max bit my son in the face tonight while he was chewing a rawhide chew. My son was trying to "kiss him goodnight". I ralize it's not a good idea to bother Max when he is chewing or eating but what can I do to prevent this behavior? I told my son it wasn't the dog's fault and he should respect Max's space.
How can we train Max to see my son more as a "alpha dog"?
