Hi Everyone From Joanne and Mack

i do love my SBT but im still not understanding sum of his behaviour, he is a rescue dog and we have only had him for about 7 mths and he has settled in really well

scenario: last night im led on the sofa and Mack is led next to me (that close i can hear his breathing in my ear) im stroking his back and his ears and then all of a sudden he decides to sit and hav a chew on my nose and then literlly stands over me....is he just being abit possessive or just seeking reassurance, because he does it quite abit and it can be abit overpowering

does anyone else hav this problem

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Sounds like his is trying to be dominant, send him out of the room until he calms down a bit.

Hi and welcome to the forum
I wouldn't allow any nipping. It may be ok now but it won't be when he grows up and them jaws become very powerful. I would tell him no and give them no affection when he shows this behaviour.
It is normal though for a pup to test where they stand so don't be worrying. Just nip it in the bud so your puppy knows where you stand on unwanted behaviour

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. It's best to put him off the sofa or get up yourself and ignore him when he does this.
