Our sweet foster labradoodle, Meg, is bothered when my three sons wrestle, whether it's in fun or in anger. She barks and gets agitated and at times gets "nippy." (She doesn't bite - it's just that her teeth become a part of her actions, if that makes sense.)

As I have looked into this, I've read that poodles are sensitive and do not like roughhousing. They prefer a calm home environment. Perhaps it is the poodle in Meg that contributes to this aspect of her temperament.

Have any of you experience this? Do you have ideas to offer as far as working with Meg on this behavior?

Thanks!
