My mom's other cocker spaniel just barks at me. It hates men and is a male itself. Protective little bastard. He's deaf too, so I'll get to my mom's house and I'll be talking to my mom for five minutes and he'll be laying on the floor, right there, and all the sudden he'll notice me and start barking out of the blue. I have to give him doggy snacks to shut him up. So who has who trained? jeez.
