Dogs are weird!!
That's it..nothing else. They are really strange.
So here I am, my puppy just turned six months old yesterday...I couldn't wait to hug him, pet him, love him. All I wanted to do was shower him with affection and love..after all, he's half way to becoming a grown dog!!!
So what does my pup turning six months old have to do with dogs being weird? Well, here's the thing...if I show love and affection to my dog, then all he wants to do is dominate, or bite, or bark at me. He'll jump up, and at 40 lbs, when his paws hit my stomach, I actually get winded. Therefore, I had to make a solemn oath to myself to completely ignore him. I came home from work and just walked right past him. I've been doing this for 2 days now, and I gotta tell ya, our relationship has never been better. He hasn't bit or jumped up at me at all. When he walked into my room, all I did was snap my fingers and point to the door, and he just listened to me and walked out!!! This has been the 1st time in 4 months that he has actually shown some respect towards me!!!
I thought, "Treating someone like a dog" had negative connotations. But now, I know that dogs LOVE being treated like a dog!! Their little tail wags, they sit when they are told to sit, they look up at you with adoring eyes...and all the while, I look the other way and pretend he's not there.
Like I said, dogs are weird...but maybe when he's not looking, I'll sneak a peak at him...and casually pat his back.
