And yes, I think she's nipping. But it's still something I'd like to encourage her to stop ASAP, as I'm afraid that one day she's going to nip a dog who bites back (I live in a complex where everyone has dogs, and we all stop to socialize).
Thanks again! |
Well when a dog lives in the wild that one thing and has got not a thing to do with them in your home. Your rules your house and be consistant.
They (dogs) have been dommestic for many years and are able and willing and have adjusted to our way of life better then we have to them.
They read our body language far and away better most of us ever will.
They are not wild at all and we need to look at them as family members not wild dogs.
