thankyou all for the replies,i think i will take the advice of a trainer,he did it again today,yes,he has always been in the shop since he was 3months old,so he is used to people,they all love him,but he does all of a sudden go mad,somebody suggested that because he is so protective of me,he may get jealous from time to time with all the attention i give others,i give him as much love as poss all day,i even tell customers to say hello to him,so as not to offend him(spoilt cocker big style )will let you all know what happens,thanx again :wink:
