<div style="RIGHT: auto">I have a question about my Basset. He's a good dog and a rescue, got him at about 4-5yrs, now he's about 9-8yrs. </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">On occiasion, I have noticed a "moodiness" about him. For example, last night he got into his bed and curled his lips to show teeth at me, no growl. I saw no reason for this so I stood my ground and firmly him "No" and he slowly calmed down. I have never punished him (seems to catch on and listen well) but I don't want this type behavior (bearing of teeth) to escalate. How can I reprimand him to let him know that this is not acceptable? <var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>He's a big boy (65-70lbs) confident and kind personality with people. Thank you.
