My mom has Alzheimers Disease. I had the same issue with her feeding Cyrus from the table when I was caring for her at home. I couldn't crate him because mom would throw a temper tantrum. I guess I was lucky because Cyrus would only beg from mom, never from me or anyone else.

Mom is in a memory care home now and the behavior no longer exists.

With the great wisdom that comes in hindsight I realize my mom was exhibiting behaviors of her disease YEARS before the disease became unmanagable.

I guess you are right and I apologise for the harsch way I putted things to the point.But nevertheless it remains the owners responability to protect his dog against things provoced by the grandpa.With some imaginatoin one must be able to avoid confrontations between the dog and the granddad.

I feel kind of like I know you from here and I know you didn't mean any harm...just doing my part to raise awareness

Believe me, I have friends who I have wanted to crate because they balked at respecting my rules regarding Cyrus.

I had to do a lot of protection work for Cyrus (and redirection for mom!) when I was caring for my mom. But my dog is older and is pretty well trained so for me it was easier. OP's dog is still very young, so it's tougher.
