Ha Ha Ha, it sure does. As my puppy school teacher explained it, "How would you feel if someone turns their back to you like that?"
Puppies are inherently rude and obnoxious. If you watch adult dogs around puppies, you will see that the adults most often teach the puppies proper behavior by ignoring bad behavior. We people have to learn their language to get them to do what we want.
