i only have one dog like this.. my others are all different
difficult types of dogs are described as 4 types..
dominant, active resister, passive resister,and the fear biter (sharp- shy)
the sharp- shy dog is the most difficult type..

i have the first 3 types..these training tips in ...let the dog decide... are working for me and my dogs..

H, I am new to the forum and I have a 3 yr old female called Molly and a 2 yr old female called ruby. Ruby absolutely loves belly rubs anytime of the day and will roll over for a love. Molly only likes them when she is in the mood, usually first thing in the morning when she wakes up next to me or last thing at night while watching TV with my husband in bed - she is a daddy's girl. I guess you have to do what works with each individual dog, neither of mine are aggressive at all, so plenty of belly rubbing in our house. I think ruby wouod die of emotional abndonment LOL if we took away the belly rubs!!

This is the craziest thread I've read - what furbaby doesn't deserve a belly rub

Perhaps you should read a different book...I always thought that when a dog rolls over it's classic submissision and they understand you're the pack leader/alpha...

Maggie gets them all day long - jeez! When she wakes up, after playing, when she's tired, etc. There's nothing more precious than when she rolls over and her ears flop back and she smiles up at me waiting for a very gratifying belly rub

no belly rubs for difficult dogs.. like my passive resister...there are lots of different opinions..

someone with multiple dogs has different problems..

let the dog decide is groundbreaking.... i am thankful i found it.. thanks dale
