[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dog is normal.  You are weird.

I'm on the fence about the growl and snap. My general position is to not tolerate a family dog that snaps when you wake him up or groom him or other things he happens not to like. However, I also don't hassle a dog or squeeze him to me so it's hard to say how egregious his response is. [/quote]

I probably wouldn’t trust this dog around children. It only takes one well-time “snap” to permanently disfigure a child. But OP doesn’t say whether she has kids in the house. [/quote]

The OP is the one creating a dangerous situation here.  The dog is doing his job and committed his discomfort and the OP recounts continuing to pet a dog who's tensed up or growling.

Seriously, STOP, OP.  Your dog is communicating and you're ignoring him.  How would you feel if you told someone to stop touching you and they kept doing it.[/quote]

I do stop. I’m just wondering if it’s normal. I thought dogs would want to be with their humans all the time. [/quote]
