pyrless Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Last night before bed Sash was working on the end of a rawhide and I told her "time for bed" and went to take it from her. She growled at me. She has never done this before. I got up close to her face and said "Sasha, DROP IT" and she did, right away, and went to bed. ??????? Any idea why? Quote
AllAmericanPUP Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 she's testing you. she didnt want to give up the bone so she growled to see if she could bully you into letting her keep it or if you were going to be alpha and take it away. good for you for making her drop it :D Quote
pyrless Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 oy! i thought we were done with the testing already. santa maria! is this something she is going to do her whole life? it really startled and kind of scared me for a minute. you don't wanna go up against those jaws. afterwards she was her normal sweet self. to be fair i was in a crappy mood yesterday too, maybe she picked up on that as a good time to push my buttons.

BuddysMom Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Maybe you need to give the "drop it" command each time, if that's how she was taught? Maybe somehow she didn't see it as fair if you didn't tell her the "right" way? Just a guess. Quote
pyrless Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 That is a good point, Buddysmom, I didn't even think of it that way. Thanks guys! Quote
