| Topic | My family got a dog from the shelter and it hates me |

I walked in the door, it growled at me, so I walked up to it pointed and said "No." So then it started licking me and I was friendly towards it. I get the feeling it's mistaking me for someone else. That's a good start, but I'm assuming it's going to take more than that. I can intimidate it, but then it actually has to like me and feel comfortable around me too, so I probably have to play with it and reward its good behavior. The dog either seems very dumb or a little crazy. Then I walked downstairs and started shivering because it freaked me out. With animals, I guess it's all about putting on a show. I really am scared of them though. When I was 5 I was attacked by a dog and all I really remember was that I barely escaped with my life. Zeus posted... However, I will note that I've always found dogs to be excellent judges of character =p Nice. I think it's mistaking me for someone else and their bad character, though. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
