Yes, and horses nip and “kick” their young. Oh, the horrors!
And dogs are known for taking the pup by the scruff of the neck - and this became a popular method for physically challenging the dog by the human. Except of course for those who not only now tell us “no touchy-touchy”, but also, don’t even look mean at your dog! Because that’s just mean!!!
Darcymom is the gentlest, most loveable dog you can imagine, but she has definite parameters. You cross her lines and she’ll put you in your place in a heartbeat. No blood drawn, ever, but she can intimidate with the best of them. The lessons are quick and to the point, and i’ve never seen any of her offspring forget any of them. She should be a role model for humans! LOL
