Your Say Your Guardian

Mine takes all sorts of crap from kids, and often reacts with a look of "please stop, I'm not enjoying this" If the torment continued, would my otherwise placid and good natured dog react in the only way (apart from running off) he knows i.e warn them off with a nip/bite ? The answer is that he might, because he's an animal who reacts on instinct. He is trained to ignore cattle, horses, ducks,sheep etc. which he does perfectly, However I always keep an eye on him. I never trust him more than 90%  − Badger
