I have a quick question,
i live alone with my 2 year old male. and he has always let everyone in my house without aproblem, very friendly towards everyone. he usually smells them somtime's gets a little pushing and wants to be petted but i have never had an agression problem ever!! until recently i had a delivery man come to my door with a package.. it wasn't till thenthat i noticed a total change in chance... chance lunged at the door pratically knocked me over trying to get to him... he never snapped or barked at the man.. but sat on my feet and pushed me back and growled like i have never heard a dog growl before teeth bared and all.. it kinda scared me.... now i know adog can sense things and i don't think i let off any signals of being worried or cautious of the man... is this something i should of punished him for or did he just fear the man.. and as soon as the delivery man left everythign was fine. i have hadmany delivery's at my door before, but this was the first time for such a reaction.. is he gonna start doing this all the time, i don't want to have to deal with this, with everyone. and he doesn't since even with other people he doesn't know. Is this something i can change or stop or prevent from happening? i have never worried about him biting anyone but i wasn't sure what was gonna happen if that guy stepped another foot closer..
HELP, concerned or not???
