Thread: is this behaviour anything to be worried about

agree the pulling by hand thing isnt too flash........perfectly great if house on fire and its telling you to get out...... the water thing is awesome...our big black bruiser used to do it all the time...both our kids learnt a bit of water safety /its not so scary with his help...we would put life jacket on the kids and I would wade out with them as deep as I could go and still keep them above water...then call Willy out...he would be there in a flash and kids would hold his tail and get towed back into shallows...dog loved it...he would ALWAYS put himself between them and deep water.
agree if ANY pain from hand grab...yelp so dog knows its not on youve hurt me.
good luck and good on you for asking.
