Re: She snaps at men after she lets them pet her

An additional thought to be above post, did you notice anything in the previous behaviors from the men in the way they positioned themselves with her that may have brought on a fearful response. Perhaps standing/reaching over her or looking her directly into the eyes for a prolonged period. These situations can bring on that fearful reaction and might be something you could watch for in stopping the behavior before it develops into a snap. Maybe the men who had rotties in the past were in a more acceptable position for her, from their knowledge of the breed; maybe just something that comes naturally as a result of familiarity.
