scothunter 12,609 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 evrytime someone comes in to my house my dog goes daft.jumping up and licking them and just generally being affectionate.he is always a happy enough dog and never shows sign of aggresion.well tonight my mate came in and as per usual dog going daft.well got bit pissed off and roared at him and lifted my hand as if to skelp him.well the wee shit shows every tooth in its head.no growling or that but defo on the defensive lol now i must be going soft in my old age,cause there was a time i would have scudded a dog for that,but like i said he is not an aggressive dog.but just goes to show even the most docile ones arent to shy at showing there disdain to discipline lol Quote Link to post

Yeah sounds like my old dog, very submissive, would role on his back when he knew he was in the shit, but if it was just him being cheeky or needing calming down then he'd smile as you've described Quote Link to post
bird 9,864 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 you never give him clip before, norm they do that as warning ,that they aint going to get it again.? if it was me i would go back to lead control, when anybody came in or you want him to anything. Get him on the lead and give him a yank, it will stop him in a calmer way ,than shouting or even lifting your hand, the lead works 100%because as soon as you put it on him he will know where he stands with you . 2 Quote Link to post

southcott 9 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 my 7mth pup is the same goes mad at any excuse ! jumps on the other dogs , people , does your head in , i leave a lead on her in the house to give her a jerk , and only when she sits does she get a fuss , this is the most excitable pup ive ever had , not only is it really annoying , i worry she will either hurt her self with the flying leaps , or get bitten by the other dogs .
