[quote=Anonymous]First time dog owner here just finding this thread. Freaking out a bit. We have a 20lb five year old poodle mix we just adopted from the shelter. Very mild mannered around people and lots of shelter promises of very well behaved with young kids and socializes well with large dogs. He's been home for a few days and out of the corner of my eye I saw him snap at my 3 year old. He immediately retreated to his bed running from my son. I've deduced my son was trying to look at the letters on the new tag and twisted the tag, inadvertently tightening the collar (unacceptable I know!). We were both spooked by it but he followed my calm lead and wasn't that affected. My husband has owned dogs before (minimally trained) and dismissed it as fine because it was the dog's way of warning. I thought so too. Reading this thread has me questioning our judgement! Oh, and growls and lunges on the leash when on walks near other dogs. Maybe not so socialized! [/quote]
