How can I tell if it's jealousy, or doesn't it matter?
I was once told that he sees me as his rather than seeing himself as mine. Does that make sense?
It make absolute sense. MusicDeb's suggestions for how to bring Franklin into the room when you have company is perfect! I would bet that he does think he owns you, so in this case where he is, in relationship to you, is very important. Do not allow him to be in front of you. He can be at your side or a little behind you (whether he's standing, sitting, or laying down). When he is laying down, near you, make sure he is facing you and not facing away from you. That is very much he is owning you and letting other dogs and people know it.
I had to remind myself that I encounter all situations and people first; not my dogs.
