I always prefer hearing that kind of news. If something was hard for me to do, I hate when someone else makes it look easy. Works for opening jars, playing music, math problems, etc.
I know! I keep reminding myself this is my fifth dog i am not a noob! The others responded and he’s been much harder. It’s not my imagination he’s a little tough nut. I told the trainer Id used the submission hold on DaVinci and he looked horrified. I think he’s got a bit of the dog whisperer going on talking about energy etc. He said no wonder he doesn’t let me cuddle with him! DaVinch doesn’t always want to cuddle, it’s his personality. Sometimes he wants to lay on my lap, sometimes he wants to be on the other end of the couch, sometimes he wants to be on the floor playing with stuff and will evade my grasp. It has nothing to do with the submission hold which I’ve done précisely twice when he’s strggked against me.
