[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3954194, member: 35603"] If they give signs theyre thinking about being aggressive, it is just using the scruff of their neck to make them lay down on the floor. There's no hitting or anything else that would actually escalate things and break the dogs trust in me which are both unacceptable to me. For the two dogs we have now, it has never been a problem. They typically just go to their beds in the office and lay down because they're not really into new people. Once the guests have been here an hour or so, they get more curious and will eventually at least smell the guest before going back to their beds. Some dogs respond to verbal cues and are really eager to please, others are more assertive and respond better to firmness. About like kids, it is a guessing game until you find a method that works for that individual. [/QUOTE]
