Subject: RE: [pyrnet] Luna is nudging
strangers
Hi
Folks,
My
wonderful Luna is doing something I am concerned about and wondering if others
have similar experiences or dog behavior/training advice they can
lend.
When
strangers come over, she barks for a solid few minutes until she realizes they
are OK (I usually hug the stranger to let her know they are a friend).
When the visitor turns their back to walk in a specific direction, Luna rushes
up and starts nudging them in the behind. She isn't being aggressive and
isn't biting, but one person said they thought they felt a nudge then a nip.
When they turn to look at her, she runs away.
As I
posted several weeks ago, Luna has had a rough life and I adopted her
scared, pregnant, and unsocialized. I am thrilled with the progress we
are making, but I am just hoping her "nudging" doesn't turn into something
more serious. Thoughts?
