Default Question for our dog trainers...

Hi NON-fellow "Dog trainers"

Can you answer me this question?

When a dog raises his hackles; what does it mean when:

a) He only raises them on his shoulders?
and
b) He raises them down the entire length of his back.

Jerry please don't answer!

Thankyou,
Nevyn

Piloerection is a fear response to make the dog look larger. Degree
is proportional to level of anxiety.

Question for you - how can you call yourself a dog trainer and ask
such a basic question?
