chelseafan Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 or are they? Cai had his appt this morning for his annual booster, took Luka as I wanted to have them both weighed. Upon arrival they were nearly bitten by a jack Russell, then a staffie was growling and snarling at them, the owner had to take it out. A second jack Russell was barking and growling and finally a huge mastiff tried to run at them... and through all of that Cai didn't react, he was just looking in bemusement I think, Luka growled back at the mastiff, and the point to the story is Cai and Luka get to have 10.15 appts, when the morning surgery is closed!! I got the feeling the receptionist would have given me her bank card if I'd asked her nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Blimey. Sounds like some of the dogs at your vets had the Monday morning blues for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafan Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Lol [emoji23] I really felt for her, the noise from the other dogs was unbelievable. I'd really like to know why mine are met with aggression, today was prob the worst I've encountered so far.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app In doggy language holding a tail up high and having ears held high and alert can be perceived as aggression , here's a couple of screen shots about ears and tails n this is about labs so sadly what is a natural stance for our dogs is read differently in others Sent from my E6653 using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that post, I like the tail wagging info, how wrong can we be, always thinking a wagging tail means happy!Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 This is great info! I think its an art reading our dogs body language and then trying to understand what going on in their heads, mind you, imagine how hard it is for them to work out what we humans are about most of the time!!

Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app It's the same with raised hackles , it doesn't always mean aggression it can be excitement too , humping isn't always dominance either that also can be excitement/Playfulness , I've loved reading up on dogs body language n like to think I can read mine quite well , I have to with skyla because she can be fear aggressive towards some dogs but not all so being able to read her really helps Sent from my E6653 using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to learn how they communicate with each other.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
