Which is odd, because at dog school she really didn't like the gun noises when we were doing gun dog exercises.
Helegant Nov 2018 7:56pm, 5 Nov 2018 6,007 posts	0 Helegant I've just got home and Mr has been in A&E after Jet bit him today. Mr has puncture wounds on the thigh and calf. Mr was dragging a reluctant dog out through the front door when Jet picked up one of my trainers and Mr tried to take it off him. When Jet gets possessive I play 'give' in return for a treat whereas Mr thinks Jet shouldn't be rewarded for giving up a trophy. He has now come round to my way of thinking, and to my suggestion that he doesn't push a stressed dog into a corner. I really hope this is a one-off.

halfpint Nov 2018 8:44pm, 5 Nov 2018 26,816 posts	0 halfpint A painful lesson for Mr H. Smiling to myself thinking of Jet with a head in a shoe. Ernie seeks out any items of clothing of mine to lie on - he spends much of the day on my bed apparently. I hate these bloody fireworks - why can't people just go to an organised display. Ernie started off woofing whilst looking out the window and almost wagging his tail and then ultimately looking a bit anxious. He's now crashed out as per his usual evening routine.
Rosehip Nov 2018 8:48pm, 5 Nov 2018 11,128 posts	0 Rosehip Oh dear stressed dog reacting in the only way he knows. Poor Jet. (& I hope Mr isn't too sore - and that you get some calm and rest, you need it!)
