I don't think fake throwing a ball is teasing. Gus is too smart for that. My son plays like that all the time. He'll go to throw the ball and Gus will take a few steps, just enough time for Timmy to hide it somewhere on him. And Gus has a ball looking for it.

What I don't like is when someone gets Gus all crazy because he is so very protective. My cousin doesn't come around too much but when he does he act like he's going to hit me and Gus would go after him. My kids used to hug me when Gus was on my lap and say,,, my mommy. And he would growl at them. I put a stop to it. But he still has a problem with my son hugging me, he has never bit them and I think it's a game with the boys, but I still don't like it. We are working on that. And one thing I think is cute but I know it's so wrong is, Gus knows when I'm upset with my husband and will growl at him if he gets too close to me when I am upset. I know "not good". Tim gets a kick out of it. I told him that if it were a big dog he'd change is tune about teasing.
