    Submissiveness to new dog?

    Max is our new German Shepherd. Rupert keeps showing some sort of submissivness to Max. He licks Max's lips and rolls over onto his back in front of Max. Is this submissivness or something else???

    Yeah its a sign of him being submissive to Max, maybe he see's Max as the dominant one of the two so he just back down?

    Smile It's cool

    They want to be friends on their terms, or to be submissive to a more dominate member of the pack, or both.
