Here we go again with nerves. Hector has always been uncomfortable with Buddy being in his space. Sometimes he's fine, but other times he's not. There's no real pattern I can pick up on. I've worked on giving out treats to the other dogs with Hector in a stay. Letting Bud eat treats dropped right by Hector. Gave more attention and food to Bud and Ging. Those times - no reaction - he just waits on the release word. Anyway, I thought this was a good video where a dog can tell you a lot through the use of their eye muscles. This is also a typical move I've seen that results in a growl and results in a timeout. I'm glad he made a good decision.

OKAY now to the good stuff!
I don't even have to explain this picture. I think everyone will come to the same conclusion.
Posted with permission from the owner. This was not the owner's dog, but this dog enjoys play and hand feeding from the baby. All the baby was doing in the pic was sitting, playing, and crawling towards the mother. Since the baby has gained more mobility, the dog has been seen to bare teeth, growl and lunge....
While we're at it, might as well
