no quite Marmion, hardly mistreating her, more misreading her.
It's quite easy to justify it I suppose

i often play with her like this and she doesn't normally growl, she plays like a puppy. She lies on her back, i tickle her tum and give her kisses. When i stop, she put paws at me until i do it again in a very playful way. She did this tonight but on the last kiss she growled, As said, i stopped and said Awww wazza matta and she nipped. Misread not mistreated. She obviously wasn't in the mood for playing anymore.It's quite easy to justify it I suppose
Every dog has an off day.
So your dog came close to ripping a child's face off, yet you kept it?None of the above is anecdotal evidence is true and I can provide anecdotal evidence to prove it.
1) My old dog (sadly passed away) was yer typical Lab - adorable, docile, good with kids etc.- she would come to work with me and sit on the grass watching my back (she had that quality too). One day she was tired and stayed in the truck, I wound down the windows and she got her head down, a kid came by and started to tease her through the open window but she was good
the kid put his head through the open window to take it a step further and my gentle girl went ballistic her teeth grew bigger as the colour from the kids face disappeared, a face he was lucky to get out of the window intact.

course they do, you never had a headache? Felt a bit sick? You think animals don't get ill? Mine's had an ear infection this week. She seems better but it might be why she suddenly didn't wanna play anymore.You sure about that?
the kid was teasing a dog that was off colour plus the dog was in a car and therefore duty bound to protect (an instinct we have bred into them). Most dogs protect vehicles they are in. I would have kept it.So your dog came close to ripping a child's face off, yet you kept it?
It's your dog I'd hope you know but animals often tolerate human behaviour even though it's not something they really enjoy, you see this pretty often. The owner saying he loves this, as they do something you can clearly see the dog isn't loving but goes back out of loyalty and trust. Why people think animals have human traits defeats me.course they do, you never had a headache? Felt a bit sick? You think animals don't get ill? Mine's had an ear infection this week.

Well, there's no way I'd want an animal that almost ripped a child's face off simply because the kid poked its head through the window.the kid was teasing a dog that was off colour plus the dog was in a car and therefore duty bound to protect (an instinct we have bred into them).

next time you walk past a parked car with a dog in, put your hand against the window. I bet it goes for you. Most dogs in cars protect the car. No matter what breed they are.Well, there's no way I'd want an animal that almost ripped a child's face off simply because the kid poked its head through the window.
