I totally agree that it is my responsibility to train Oliver.... that was the reason for my original post. Maybe all 3 were at fault... Me, Oliver, and the BF. I would never be okay with Oliver biting ANYONE.. I was just trying to explain the situation in which it happened. I've had Oliver since the end of January and at the beginning I never heard a peep from him. Now he is getting comfortable in his own skin... which I LOVE... but being protective is one of those things. SO what do I do when he growls and barks at him? I've been firmly saying NO and I place him on the floor and ignore him. I do feel like he has been abused by men in his past and the BF is 6'3 ... so maybe I am babying him but I do think he was scared. The bottom line is... I want to do what is best for Oliver... because thats what he deserves! Thanks for all the help!!
