So true!He's almost 6 years old. We bonded when he was a puppy and for some reason, he's been my shadow ever since. Just a big scary looking titty-baby.
I was recruited years ago to accompany him to the groomers or the vet. He isn't fond of strangers touching him, if he hasn't accepted them in his circle.
However, once you're in . . . you're in!
So . . . I'd be by his side, talking to him, reassuring him . . . to keep him from using his very low and extended "You're starting to piss me off " growl.
To date, he's never been muzzled when he's been with me, for appointments . . . even when he starts his long, low, growl and begins to slowly turn his head towards the "offender".
Yeah . . . I'll admit it. It's a real ego stroking moment when he responds to my words and touch in front of others, and complies.
Especially when there is fear in their eyes!
