I don't think she's doing that. I think people make a mistake when they assume their dog is being "stubborn" or "trying to show them who's boss" etc. Dogs don't plot against us. They don't try to get revenge or anything like that. But I think that remembering that dogs have basic emotions like fear, anger, and happiness is vital to understanding our dogs. I think her dog is fearful and she needs to address that in a kind, loving way that will reassure the dog and help lessen her fears.
