    @lisastewart: Trog chewed on my ankles and wrists for a good nine month despite giving him as much play as I could to wear him out, Cara is extremely mouthy. She liked to hold my arm or hand in her mouth as she went to sleep, sometimes creepily rubbing her tongue against me. She has always done play biting but she has the softest mouth ever. It is rare for her to ever put enough pressure to make a indention even in her wildest playing. I am okay with that. I had one dog before her, a Rottie, who wanted to hold you. I didn't let on lead, but did while just sitting with her. But I'd look out to see Larry leading her down the road, him holding the leash, her holding his hand in her mouth. I figured her leading him was okay.

    D Levy did experiments back in the 1930s and 40s predominately. The study too small to tell if valid. Furthermore, I'd be curious what type of "punishment" they used to correct the dogs over food. Somehow, I am not surprised that the softer dogs indulged and then punished came to not trust humans. Children with the push/pull (love/abuse) type parents also fare worse in some research stats than those with cold/abuse. I cannot locate the original article, but I did find there are several. I am not sure what agnostic means in this context lol: (this actually was 1968): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dev.420010211/abstract

    That's great that all of you can run with your Bs. They love to run and it always seemed like a natural and fun thing to do together. Alas, I tried and tried, but Spencer would dart right in front of me and trip me up. I hate to say it, but I finally just gave up before I took a nasty fall. Spencer would never even heel, much less run quietly beside me. He obeyed almost everything else, so I learned to accept our limitations.
