| Yes Soapie & Buddies mom is right. I had one hand in his collar and was hugging him with the other. I can't lift him at all!! But, I realize I am soothing him by my voice, but it wasn't like he was upset beforehand or anything. I was just petting him along with my friend and saying good dog etc. I was rewarding him for sitting and being pet!!?? Then he growled at him?
Thanks for all the advice, I did soothe him at the vet when he got defensive and she did tell me not to do that. But I guess once I quit it, it was already to late and he was very defensive. Thanks again. I'm trying hard to stop pampering him and not reinforce any bad behaviour or nervousness. :) |
