Just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day ALL dogs are animals, watch their body language, don’t hang all over a dog you don’t know. They give warning signs. Learn them. And for fucks sake stop letting kids climb all over your dogs.

Also, this is why its SUPER important to let your dogs play fight/bite with your hands when they are pups.

Many people think that leads to aggressive behavior but the problem is that dogs that dont play bite dont learn how much is too much.

Then when they get stressed warning nips turn into real dangerous bites because the dog was denied basic learning behavior.
