When Sadie’s in a bad mood and wants you to stay away, or when she has a treat and she’s afraid you’ll take it from her,\u00a0my little pup\u00a0has a predictable pattern of behavior. In the following photos, you can see the typical steps of a Sadie temper tantrum from start to finish.<\/p>\n

\n

\"dogs,<\/a>
\nIt begins with “the look”. \u00a0Sadie gets a certain look in her eyes that clearly says “stay away”.<\/p>\n

\n

\"dogs,<\/a>
\nIf you ignore “the look” and approach Sadie anyway, she begins to growl quietly, showing her teeth a little.<\/p>\n

\n

\"dogs,<\/a>
\nIf you still persist and reach out towards her, she snaps. She doesn’t actually bite or even try to grab you, she just tries to snap\u00a0in your direction to scare you away.<\/p>\n

\n

\"dogs,<\/a>
\nThe final\u00a0stage of the temper tantrum is guilt. Sadie immediately feels sorry for snapping and tries to lick you. It’s hard to be stern and reprimand my little pup for snapping when she insists on licking your face and apologizing.<\/p>\n
