Default Compulsive Eating Disorder?

I have 3 dogs.
A fem mini-shepherd-X mix (35lbs, shorthaired) about
13yrs old. My pooch since she was 6mo's old.
A Anatolian Shep (90+ lbs) 4yrs old. Adopted when he was
about 2yrs old
A G.Shep-X mix about 5 mo's old. Adopted last month.

The Anatolian (Patch) came from a shelter (all my dogs do.. I guess
if they were purebreds then they would be "rescues" ..) He had
some hip damage when they took him in, but a local vet-surgeon
donated hip surgery for him to the shelter.

Upon Patch's start with us, he "bound" to my wife. He's not a
confident in his demeanor. Rather "wimpy". He's real protective
of my wife though. I thought he was total "wimp" untill he
took exception to a power-company-employee's tone of voice
and chased said employee into their car, then proceeded to
chomp the car's bumper untill it left.

My behavioral problem is: Patch whines and moans when I get near
my missus. He then realizes that I'm not to be messed with, so
dashes over and eats. He wont "defend" missus from me but he
gets really emotional when I get near her.

Any Ideas on how to make this pooch understand that I'm allowed
to touch my wife?
