Spock is usually quite good. He gets mouthy when he needs to go to the bathroom (he grabs my fingers and pulls me), but it isn't aggressive. He does this annoying running-like-a-maniac-while-nipping-me-to-entice-me-into-chasing-him mouthiness.
But then, when I correct him (usually by snapping my fingers and pointing at him, or a nudge like Cesar does), he sometimes does a whine/bark and snaps at my fingers. He's never made contact, but it's a clear "Eff you, I will do what I want". He does it far less with my dad, so it's obviously a respect issue.
He also will sometimes do it when I tell him to sit before going inside. He knows he is supposed to, and he knows what I'm telling him, but he just doesn't want to. So when I tap his rear to get his attention (he does the "I'm not listening, I'm staring over there at that leaf thing"), he will snap at me. Like I said, he's never actually bitten me. He just gets as close as he can, whining, teeth barred.
Any tips?
