He makes the oddest noise, almost like a frog, and lays in the submissive dog pose but with bared teeth, and can snap like an alligator.  <\/p>\n<p>This happens rarely &#8211; when we are outside and something new or strange makes him nervous, or the few times he&#8217;s been hurt (from jumping off the bed or stepping on a cactus), and honestly, there were a couple of times I was scared that this whole endeavor was over my head.   <\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ve realized Charlie responds really well to eye contact &#8211; both for discipline and for transmitting basic info like, you&#8217;re safe, or, come inside with me right now and you&#8217;ll be safe, and now he looks to me for protection and doesn&#8217;t take his fear out on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s remarkable how loving and social Charlie is.
