Dogs and children and jealousy

Dogs and children and jealousy
Damon has been used to just myself, my husband, and our teenage son for a few months now that when the grandchildren come to spend the night there is a bit of jealousy. Especially when it comes to their toys. Turn your back and he will try and steal anything that they are playing with. He has chewed up more wooden blocks, train tracks, stuffed animals; and the crying starts. Damon gets plenty of attention but like with all children and animals they know when your attention is divided.

 I have to block off the living room or the guest room from Damon when they are here because he wants what they have, almost like sibling rivalry! but out of all the toys he wants the stuffed monkey is the one he tries to get at the most.
He knows that when the grandkids are here they get a lot of attention and he wants in on it. And god forbid they leave a half eaten peanut butter sandwich on the table for later...Damon will steal it the first chance he gets.
