Crabby Dog
Hello,
I have an 8 month old Rat Terrier/Sheltie that we have been allowing to sleep with us. Lately, he has taken to growling and nipping my husband when he comes to bed. The dog usually will be sleeping in my husband's spot, and when my husband moves him, he will growl and nip his hand. The dog has also done this to him when he has tried to take objects from his mouth. I have a couple of questions: First, what is the general opinion about allowing dogs to sleep with their owners? Is this alright to do? Also, how should my husband react to the dog's growling and nipping? Should the dog be scolded, ignored, etc? Lastly, how can we get this behavior to stop? Thanks in advance for your reponses. |
