| Re: from simple "rose ear" to snapping at child
Agree totally with above posters. I had a very aggressive Rott and when my son was young, he tripped over Rommel. Rommel's reaction was to growl for a second, get up and leave the dining room and head into the front porch which was his space. He could have easily done serious damage but held back and gave his warning followed by avoidance.
I still don't understand that alpha roll thing! Why people pretend to be a dog without knowing the basis of the dogs actions they are trying to mimick.
