In all honesty, my dawg has very very rarely not liked anybody. However, when he does not like somebody, I trust his instincts. So far he has been right. If he was to growl at somebody - I would throw that person out of my house. Not put the dawg in another room. Seems like animals know when something is wrong with humans.

I love my dog and all, but I wouldn't let her come between a relationship of mine. (Not that she ever would because she's just the sweetest, tiniest little thing.) I understand dogs (and cats) can be picky. If I did have an aggressive dog that didn't like my beau, I'd probably just put him/ her in another room for a bit. :shrug:
I've had dogs that only liked females, and I've had dogs that didn't like people of color. :shrug: Did you ever think that if your dawg didn't like someone, he may be picking up on your fear?Originally posted by migtig

I had a real problem with my husband's dog when we first started living together. She was used to being the 'alpha beyotch' and resented me usurping her place. It all came to a head when she pizzed and sh!t all over my school books and papers I had left on the floor in the living room.Originally posted by crabcake
I think that would fuel more resentment. The dog would get pizzed (and probably pizz all over the room and chew stuff up) b/c you were essentially choosing the other guy over the little guy.

Some dogs, yes, but I don't think that's true for every one of them.Originally posted by Christy
Are you crazy woman? TRUST YOUR DOG! They can smell a loser! Proven fact!

Dogs can read a person!!
Even my GSD has reacted to a couple of people badly.

Basically, what you're saying is...if your parents came over to see your new dog, and Rover started growling at one of your parents, you tell them to take a hike? No, you'd put the dog elsewhere until your parents left.

he prefers and listens (minds) women - cause he is raised by one I guess. He likes uniforms - all uniforms - and I honestly can't figure that one out unless they are projecting an air of authority. But he isn't antagonistic nor aggressive with anybody else. He has only been that way three times and each time I believed my dawg was probably on the mark.Originally posted by Christy
I thought your dog had "issues" with all men, unless they're in uniform?
My dog hates kids, pretty much all kids but my own. However, Sxy's daughter has managed to win him over.
