Heh, I would call my dogs friendly, but one of them (the less vicious sounding one unfortunately) Will NOT stop barking at someone new who comes into my house until I pet her and let the stranger pet her at the same time, then she is fine with them.... Once, before my mother had met her, I had to leave town for a day and she said I could leave my two dogs at her house. She works from home and was in her room working when I dropped them off. When I came back she said I shouldn't worry about burglars, I have a pretty good guard dog. Every time she came out of her room the dog would bark at her, and not stop till about a minute after she went back in. She never tried to bite, just barked. The funny thing is that to this day she still wont let my mother pet her! She doesn't bark at her, she [the dog] just hides behind me till she [the mom] leaves. :lol:
