Renie is now one year old and he is neutered. He's been through puppy training and is for the most part a very obedient dog. He sits before going outside and waits for the command go. He also sits and waits to eat waiting for the take it command.
I've noticed twice recently when a child hugs him mostly on his lower half near the tail he will let out a low growl. No teeth and never has he tried to bite or snap. Other wise he is great with the children any child and welcomes their attention. Even allowing them to not only sit in his bed, but wiggle him out until he's laying on the floor beside them happily.
I've read some dogs don't like to be hugged. I can see why it could be upsetting for Renie. So if the answer is just don't allow hugs like that it is fine. I just want to make sure how to handle it.
