My year and a half old dobie is a giant sweetheart. He's friendly, well-behaved and an all around sweetie pie... the only thing is he is VERY VERY VERY over protective of me. If we're walking down the street and someone approaches, he shoves me behind him and bares his teeth. If a friend or aquaintance moves too quickly towards me, they're shoved away with a growl... he has even very occaisonally done this with regards to my husband. He's not agressive, he has never bitten anyone or threatened them. He doesn't act like this with my husband and I'm wondering if there is some way I can get him to chill. He's great with other dogs and kids and people he knows... but I with strangers or people he doesn't know this behavior comes up. Is there anything I can do?
