A previous thread about cavs followint their person around the house got me thinking.
\my cav is very velcro and prefers to be on my lap as much as possible. However, while there he growls at persons approaching me--he doesn't want them there. This happens whether I see them or not.
When in public areas, as well as at training class he ignores other dogs--he doesn't play.
I got him when he was a year old, in poor condition and it took 3 months before his tail came out from between his legs. As he gained confidence out came the aggressioin that has been difficult to stop.
I've had other velcro dogs, different breeds, that weren't aggressive so I'm at a loss to understand why. He's also been diagnosed with SM.
