I wonder if he was abused or mistreated before you got him? Rolling over and/or submissive peeing is his way of demonstrating that he isn't going to challenge your dominant position in the pack. (someone wrote me)
First off I want to thank you guys for listening. Also he used to live with two little small chi/ one was a bit aggressive and with two great danes. Not sure if he been abused. He lived with two kids also. That could be it but not sure. He is very submissive and fearful. He slowly getting better. He also know the sit command. --- Lacey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your chi will probably out grow this. He just needs > time to get used > to you, and that could take a few months.
