» desertblue - respecting your dog
this is very useful info. Sometimes your own dog can be irritated to the point where you can see he is trying not to show you his teeth. With my chihuahua, I had to stop talking to him through a toilet paper roll (it sounds like Darth Vader and makes my dog growl). I thought it was funny, but it makes my dog clearly very uncomfortable. For whatever reason. Anyway i had to stop doing it. it's not respectful of him. [he just doesn't appreciate my sense of humor] ;-)-- posted by desertblue

- respecting your dog
lol That's funny, Jill. I think I'd growl too if somebody talked to me through a toilet paper roll! But yes, our dogs do have their own ideas about things and we have to respect them if we're going to live with them.
