Temper Tantrums

Does anyone else have a pup that throws temper tantrums? Walter is almost 4 and this started maybe a year ago. When you stop petting him he huffs and puffs and sometimes growls (not a mean growl though). He also throws temper tantrums when he can't have what we're eating or if you dont take him out the second he wants to. He literally stomps on the ground and huffs and puffs and throws his head around. When food is around he also lets out the most pathetic cry to make you think he hasn't eaten in weeks.

It is really adorable and it cracks me up everytime... but it is bad and I know I'm reinforcing negative behavior with a problem dog. Anyway I know it is my fault for not ignoring him... I just wanted to see if anyone else has a temper tantrum throwing dog?

Oh yeah, I can relate. Oscar only does this on our walks though. If I am leading him one way, and he wants to go another, he starts jumping around like an idiot, trying to block me, barking like a nut. It's a tantrum, alright! :roll: I just start giving him obedience commands, and he generally falls back into line. Stinker!!!! :lol:
