The submissive position for a dog is on their back. You may need to place your baby on her back in this situation, hold her there until she calms and knows that you are in control. Word of caution. I was told this is only to be used when your dog is showing agressive behavior that way they know your the one in control. I had to do this with my chow once and it never needed to be repeated. With him being a large 90 pound dog and me (at the time) only weighing 20 pounds more than him I had to make sure he knew I was the one in control and not him. If he really wanted to he could have had my lunch but it really worked. Like I said though, don't do it if it's not necessary, and only to correct agressive behavior just as the mother would do to a misbehaving pup.
I hope this helps. |
