I am so glad things turned out okay for you and Teddy. It is sad that those dogs were on choke chains to me that means he does not have them under control and hitting for a bad behavior only reinforces bad behavior with (the owners) bad behavior. |
YES! That is exactly what I think the problem is. I don't think anybody wants to go around saying..."no, sorry my dogs aren't friendly at all," in fact I think that if Teddy wasn't friendly I'd probably be embarassed by it. But then again, I wouldn't shade the truth. I'm sorry your baby got bit on the nose
