GROWLING,
SNAPPING, BITING
If
your dog is doing any of these things,
seek professional help! In-home consults
"While
you may be able to suddenly reach out for your own dog and pet him
roughly or put your face in his face, if you do the same thing to
another dog, even one who knows you well, it may make the dog uncomfortable,
even to the point where he snaps or bites.
When you think about it this makes sense. You can joke around with
and even run up to and hug friends on the street, but with strangers
and even with co-workers or acquaintances, those same behaviors can
been seen as a threat, insult, or just plain rude. If you randomly
tried to perform these behaviors with people around you, many would
put up with it, but eventually someone might attack you." - Sophia
