Dog thread!🐾

Chase handled it ok. He just backed away from the guy then dodged around him to get behind my legs.

And that’s huge for him! The fact that he didn’t even growl is a big improvement from how he used to be

I do plan on doing training where people that I know pet him and teach him how he is supposed to react.

Thats a great idea. If he does get up, I wouldn't give an absolute. I would just bring him back without a word and give him the down stay again. He will learn to stay with the repeat experiences. He will also retain the confidence that if anything is really dangerious towards him that he can get up and move away from it. Like not liking kids, am sure he would rather get up and avoid a child, then feeling he will be corrected for getting up to need to snap at them. Hopefully that makes sense?

Been meaning to post this for a while but finally got pics LOL

His ears are so weird!!!!!!! Got extra folds and that little notch LOL

Been like this since he was a baby, I noticed it developing but it never bothered him or anything so I left it. Not sure what I would’ve even been able to do anyway.

They don't look unusual to me. The notch is completely normal.

Really!? Well that’s good! LOL I wasn’t sure with the extra little “pocket” thing cause no other dog I know has that but maybe they’re the weird ones

I study dog ears quite closely since I'm a pet portrait artist.
