| Re: Concerned about my new male Rottie puppy............ It's funny that you said that when you picked up your boy, he growled as well. Well......Logan does the exact same thing. We were playing with him just 2 minutes ago and he growled and snapped at my girlfriend. He's a handful and I want to take care of this situation so he doesn't end up being aggressive/dominant when he's older. You're also on point when he's the exact opposite of our girl Ginger. She's mellow and was a handful when she was a puppy, but now, with training, she's laid back. Sometimes I think to myself, why did I even get this guy, but I love him and I know it will take time for him to learn his place in the pack. I haven't finished reading Cesar Milan's book yet, so I hope that what you've pointed out, since your trainer is an animal behaviorist, I can be able to understand the dog's body language better. Keep the suggestions coming! |
