Ok, I know I tend to blow things out of proportion so I am really not sure what to do.
I just got back from takingh the boys out to the college and letting them run and play fetch. Out of one of the doors comes one of our security guards. He has seen us out there before, even played with Tal and Barney. There was a big evergreen I saw him go behind and Barney was chasing after and the here goes Tal. I didn't say anything because they both had played with this guy. He was in uniform, which he has worn when playing with them before.
Anyway, he said barney nipped at him and I thought I saw the guy start to kick at Barney, but again, it was behind the tree so I really didn't get a good look and wasn't for certain. I called Tal and Barney to me and they came. When the guard came up he told me Barney was nipping at him and tried to bite him. Of course, I apologized and said he has never done anything like that before, which he hasn't. He said it's ok, he just knew how much I enjoyed bringing them out there and how much they enjoyed playing out there.
Since I didn't see the whole incident, I am not sure what to do. When the guard came over, Barney was ok and never tried anything else and didn't seem apprehansive or afraid of him. So I am not sure what to do. When the man walked off, Barney wanted to follow him, but when I called his (Barney's) name, he stayed just like I would expect.
Barney has never been quite as friendly as Tal, but neither has he ever been or shown any tendency to be people aggressive. So I am not sure what to do, but if there is something going on I want to nip it in the bud. Any advice is welcomed! I don't want to be in a situation where I have to keep constant watch or wonder if he will bite someone!
