[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 make sure that all kinds of touching, including during sleep, are part of puppy training. I use positive reinforcement and ongoing conditioning so that the puppy learns to expect and tolerate a lot of touching. That’s not really fair to an adult adoptee though unless you’re really committed to training it slowly, building over time, with positive reinforcement. [/quote]
