Tubarao is almost 5 months. Ever since we got him around 3 months old he has nipped my 2 year old son a couple times. Not enough to leave a mark or draw blood but enough to scare him. He lets out a semi bark and then the nipping happens. It is normally over something that is really simple such as trying to pull the blanket he is laying on or when I am loading the dishwasher and my son is standing next to him, tubarao gets a little protective over the dishwasher because it contains dirty dishes that he thinks he will get a lick at.
He has done various forms of nipping my other kids as well. I have 4 in total and the oldest is 7 while the youngest is my 2 year old.
Question is how do I happen this. I have been removing him (the dog) from the situation and kenneling him is this the right move?
