Hi,
Just to clarify a few things.
Roll over means just that. As in "Bruin, sit, Bruin roll over!"
If you mean defensive reaction as in he is afraid of us, then absolutely not. He has 0% reason to fear us.
He was defending very AGRESSIVELY his tasty food. We have had our fingers in his food dish from pretty much day 1 with no such issues.
His reaction was not nipping, it was snarling, lip curled teeth showing bite!
I accept the opinion that the bone was a high value item and also that he does not yet feel the need to please us.
In general he comes across as a very confident puppy, ears perked, tail up, very little sumbissive behaviour.
We will look into the NILF, although to a great extent I think we do this.
