Cheyenne- you should carefully reconsider giving advice like that. I think that pretty much everyone around here knows better than that but I pity the fool who actually listens to you and gets bitten or scares their dog to death. That was really horrible advice to give.

That was NOT an advise just something that I did with my Rottweiler. I might not understand people, but I do know what dogs are thinking, especially Lord. He would NEVER bite me. All the newspaper did was show him that I was very displeased with him and he doesn't want me to be mad at him. Also Lord is not afraid of anything that I know of, certainly not a rolled up newspaper. lol He was about 100-110 lbs at the time.
I walked up to a rather vicious 1.5 year old Rottweiler tied up by the house on our street in order to return their escaped Lab one morning. That dog has never seen or met me and I was on his property. He wanted to bite me sooo badly, I could just see it his eyes and posture. He growled at his owner too when she came to get the Lab. I am not afraid of dogs at all, no matter what they are. I let him sniff my hands and etc. He wanted to bite me, but I never gave him a reason. I have been around a lot of large breeds like Rottweilers, all variations of "pit bulls", Preso Canaro's, Doberman's, German Shepards, etc. a lot of them I have caught running loose and return to owners and others I have dealt with when I was volunteering at the animal shelter. But the point is I seem to know what dogs are thinking and I guess I know how to behave around them.
