I wish...my dog has the demeanor of a Chesapeake. (some claim a 2x4 is sometimes required for proper training)
She would, however, quickly return if I went down for any reason.
You know what I meant.
Both of my Dobes [well, the girl, in particular] are hard-headed beasts.
That’s part of their mindset, however, and one of the reasons why they fell out of favor with law enforcement.
An independently minded dog will sometimes say “Oh, hell no. I might get hurt.” and decide your command was a stupid idea.
