There is no way you can determine a dog's behavior in a parking lot.
The poor dog was taken from it's owner and put into the hands of a
stranger. This dog is already one year old and attached to it;s family.
How do you think the dog should have acted? I think it acted accordingly,
being held by an unfamiliar person. In the dog's defense, I think it did nothing
that any other dog would have done, in this situation.
Buddy is a love and loves people but if I handed him over to someone he did
not know I am sure he would growl at that person being unsure what was
happening.
You need to spend time with the dog alone. Only puppies don't care who
holds them IMO.
I am sorry your son has been sick and glad to hear his treatments have
worked and he is on his way to recovering. That is wonderful news.
Good luck, |
