Cindy's post brings up a question, anybody with working dogs ever get into "disagreements" with family members while the dogs are in the room.
I always knew when I was in BIG trouble because my wife would grab a treat and put the dogs out on the deck. "uh oh. . .this isn't gonna be pretty." lol
My old dog wouldn't put up with "vigorous discussion", he would take sides. . .lol.
I guess it depends on what you mean by working dogs, Van Camp. I'm assuming that you mean protection trained dogs, but I'll answer anyway.
No. If my dog senses tension, he tries to melt into the background, much like if you're disciplining one child, and the other tries to be invisible! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
However, if the humans start rough housing, the dog will try to join in by mounting whoever is most convenient! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
My JRT Pete is closer to being my 18yr old son's dog than mine. When I get on Jeff's case about anything, Pete can become real nasty with me. 13lb of teeth. He knows I'll shake the s#!+ out of him, but that doesn't stop him from getting right in between us. My son is way to big to "shake" any more, but he still has the fear of the lord. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
