I'm very interested in this too, as I have the same issue with Tallulah. She growls and wags her tail whenever someone comes near me. I would not look at the wagging as a friendly sign -- I think it's more that she is unsure how to behave which in my mind makes the outcome unpredictable.
We are going to work on this issue, but in the meantime, I warn adults not to approach us when I'm holding her. If there are children or adults who won't respect that warning (and we all have some of those) present, I am putting Tallulah in her playpen right next to me with the lid zipped closed so she does not have the opportunity to make a bad decision. |
