so to us this was just unacceptable behaviour & we thought we would just not allow this vocal growling to happen. Which to be fair - he wasn't really vocal in that way.
I have been to a friends house & their big male would put both paws on your lap - stare at you & growl. they would say - he's talking - we would just not give eye contact . we never allowed our dog to do that.

Oh no she doesn't do that - she is justself assured when out maybe it the guarding in her.

Well had some bad news, Callie' owners next door neighbour has just phoned her owner died this afternoon. I have not taken her out during November due to a real aversion on her part for fireworks - loud bangs - not sure what happens now.
I was due to take her out tomorrow, but won't be going now they have asked me not to.

Are there any Rottie rescues that would help out in this situation?

Kazz · 11-11-2005, 08:47 PM

I am sure they would Fran the thing is I would think the dog is the last of the families worries. This is kinda sudden he was under the weather when I saw him a couple of weeks ago - but as always cheerful.
