back about a centemeter from a swift wack with a closed fist. There are B-Bs all over this fella where the previous owner took pleasure of using him for target practice, he lived for 2 years on a 5' chain. He still flinches from time to time when you come at him from an odd angle to pet him. He has bitten a random lady at the park that we have had to deal with (we went to the behaviorist as soon as we got home from the park and have been working with him ever since). This little guys issues could be listed from now until.....but fact is we love him and although because his biting incidend put a serious dampener on our ability to take him places with us we still love him mostly because his previous 2 years were torment.
Dave, I use "drop" instead of "leave it" because in classes they use "leave it" in reference to something dropped and hitting the floor in a setting like in a nursing home or hospital. If some meds hit the floor, most dogs gobble stuff like that up. "Leave it" lets them not do that until you can switch the pill with a treat and release ("okay") the pup to have the snack. I don't think there is any real "rule" to this and any consistancy in commands is good because words have no meaning to dogs.
