hi everyone ,
i have noticed recently in the past week, that if im playing arround with a friend and i mock slap them on the hand or leg.. my puppy will attack and tries to bite them or sometimes me.
she will even lunge at me if i slap myself.
she also does the same thing even if im not involved and its just two friends.

was wondering if that is normal, if any of your babies does that.

tinkerbell is almost 6 months, she is healthy, playful... she was trained using positive reinforcement with treats and treats.
i have rarely given her a gentle tap when she is being extra naughty.

just worried that she might have been abused before i got her 3 months ago or if this is normal.
