[QUOTE="Steely, post: 468615, member: 3301"] Hold on....before you do anything drastic....a couple of things shout out at me about his sudden change in behavior. It is not normal for a dog to just "change" one day - so there is something going on. First, has his hearing been checked? Maybe he has an ear infection, wax build up, or is going deaf? Second Janet could be totally onto something. My dog Chester was amazing at knowing if something was wrong with me. I went 2 months walking around with mono, before finally Chester jumped on my bed, put his nose almost in my mouth and would not let his nose leave my mouth. He did this repeatedly, as if, hello ding dong - you have mono! He knew, he just didn't know how to tell me. I would really think about what could be triggering this. I don't think he just decided to start having power struggles. Something triggered it. Also, a great tip if you want a dog to do something they don't want to do is to have a treat in your hand when you give the command. When they follow through on the command give them the treat - it is much easier than dragging them by the collar. Mine freak out if I drag her by the collar. [/QUOTE]
