[quote=Anonymous]We’ve had him 13 months. He’s very bonded to DH and I and let’s us get away with stuff I wouldn’t trust him to tolerate in the boys (like hugging him or spooning him when cuddling). He’s also very tolerant of our 11 year DD. He’s given the boys more warning growls. So that’s why we read up on dog body language and taught them to approach hand first, turned backwards for a sniff, before reaching out and to scratch his chest, along his ears, or his back instead of patting the top of his head. I’m making it sound like he doesn’t like or trust them and that’s not true. He is happy to see them in the morning and after school. He’s happy to see them if we come upon them outside on one of his walks. He runs over to actively solicit pets. I guess the thing with the dog is, it has to be on his terms, especially with the boys. He does have a defined personal space and is not shy to protect his boundaries.[/quote]
