[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't usual behavior for our dog, although he's become especially attached to me due to some (ongoing) health issues that have had me sitting on the couch more than usual this summer. I reprimanded the dog, who stopped, but my son also backed off. How are you supposed to deal with this?[/quote] Do NOT punish your dog for issuing a warning. He will eventually stop and just escalate to biting. Get your son to back off and take the dog to the vet to look for pain solutions. That said, not wanting to be picked up itself is a valid enough reason to leave the dog alone even if they aren't in pain or otherwise feeling unwell. Teach boundaries-if only for your child's safety. [/quote]
