it's all about establishing dominance. you have to be the "alpha" and once he realizes that you are...you can both live in peace LOL |
Actually my boyfriend does that sometimes... Holding his muzzle I mean, but I wasn't sure if that was good or bad to do. Because when he does this, Milo starts crying and yelping like he's in pain even though he's not. Although when my boyfriend does that, or yells and growls at him, Milo lays on his back right away by himself and gives him "sorry kisses". But he doesn't do it with me. It's almost like he recognizes that my boyfriend has authority but not me, even though he's my dog
