    You did the right thing by removing James from a stressful situation. Obviously Cathy didn't take the hint to quit growling, and continued growling at you. You should have bit her.

    esp the biting part

    I do not growl at my weens but Kenna lovesssss puppy sounds and goes nutty, by kissing, loving and jumping all over me if I make those sounds...afraid she would kill me in my sleep if I growl at her.
    She did try to play alpha over me awhile back and quickly got put back in place with just a simple look and a firm no at ween level.

    Deep breath.Hugh sigh.:doh: O.K. this lady is a certified dog trainer where? All dogs are different. To me it sound like James has some insecurity issues that make him feel fearful. One episode like that can set a dogs training back to start. I recently saw Victoria Stillwell at a local theater and she was speaking of that exact thing. Her opinion the alpha roll and all that for an insecure dog was that all it does is help him lose trust in you. You wouldn't train a Dachs like that anyway. :krazy:Oye!

    Paula, don't doubt yourself, your house, your dog, your rules! You know James better than anyone else and know what works and what doesn't with him. I too feel she was rather rude.
