Correct
And in this situation how should my brother and nephew handle it. I know for sure my nephew is affraid to yell at the dog because he thinks he could get bit.
That is the problem - handled wrong one could get bit and why I didn't mention it.
Me I take the dog down and dump it on its back while holding it down until it quick wiggling. My whole body weight is on the dog pinning it to the gorund.
You do need to be prepared if the dog gets ugly. I am always testing my dogs and watch closely as my grand kids are around my dogs.....there are certain things I don't let my grand kids do too!
