Default Behavior

There are times when someone lays down on the sofa & goes to sleep, or closes their eyes, Deezul will bark & prod you with his nose. Sometimes he'll either lightly grab your shirt, pants or the sofa cover & tug if he doesn't get a response.

My take it that he senses something 'might' be wrong & he's trying to get a responce from whoever's laying there. Does that sound like what he could be doing?

How old is your pup? Athena does that sometimes and I think she just wants attention. Sometimes I also wonder like you, like does she think I'm not okay? hehe, I think they as they see it more often they get used to it.

She's training you...

may seem cute right now, but it's not a good path to go down.

He turned 5 months old last Saturday. He'll still do it if other people are in the room with him.
