[quote=Anonymous]We trained mine to accept pick ups - okay pup I'm going to pick you up now (when they're happy) then say a cue "up up up" as you lift them, then treat and praise extensively, then set them down. Repeat. This worked as pup was about same age and growling when kids tried to move them (necessarily). As much as possible try to use treats to guide them, try to give them the same respect you would a bigger same age dog who you could not pick up. Don't ever punish growls and most of the dominance stuff is crap. Teach them the expectation and acceptable behaviour. Just a firm but gentle voice and tell them what's happening and why.[/quote]
