John asked in PetsDogs · 9 years ago

Why does my dog hate having her front left paw touched?

Whenever I touch that paw she shows her teeth as big as she can and not with the others. I know it is not hurt because it has been like this since she was a puppy (4 years)

    Some breeds are wired that way, such as a Rat Terrier. Depending on the history of the breed many times that's a natural defense mechanism.

    My dog hates that too. Their paws are sensitive and maybe she doesn't like being touched.
