Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Saya seems to hate it when I grab her back legs for whatever reason. She will usually try to get me to let go of them. Is your husky protective of them?

Half of my pack are, the two biggest ones don't like the back paws touched. Steve and Sophie hate it, Cali and Sammy don't seem to mind what I do to them

Lucian will let me touch him with mostly no problem. He might pull his feet away after a minute or two. Doesn't really care for the vet touching him anywhere, lol.

Kay hates her back legs touched, she'll bite and grab my hands trying to get me to stop. She especially hates it when i brush them, i'm trying to get her used to it soon since she's blowing her coat right now.

Nope, but the breeder I got my dogs from works with handling the puppies from birth and I continued to work with them once they came home. If it's a new development I'd start to look at a reason like pain.

I've never met or owned a dog who liked their back legs or paws touched.

Kale doesn't care, I go up behind him and grab his buttfluff all the time lol he just lays there and looks at me, or keeps walking haha. I can run my hands down his front and back legs and he has never protested or given any indication that he doesn't like it. I check him weekly for lumps and bumps; I think it's really important to train your dogs to tolerate being touched all over (briefly) for this reason alone.

Nope. As Kristina can attest, I man-handle my dogs like a 2 year old at random times and did that a lot when they were puppies so they don't react to me touching them anywhere, and also so when kids are around, if they do an ear or tail tug, it's no big deal.
.. When I do this, I often will make Rogue walk on just her front paws lol, I'm bad.

I am having this problem with my pup.
In the upper part of his back legs. I wanted to get him checked out at my work and it turns out (after x-rays) he has inflammation of the bones (panosteitis) , which is incredibly common in big dog breeds (shepherds, great danes, huskys, setters) and younger dogs are more prone to it if they have grown too quickly, because their bones grow quicker than the rest of them (growing pains). However older dogs can get it too. And can be cleared up with a short course anti inflammatorys most of the time. I don't wish to scare anyone at all, but if its a big reaction it might be worth just getting them checked over.

My rescue girl, Delilah does not like it - but she also has a slipped disk in her back. My male who I have had since a puppy could care less, but I am like Heather and got him very desensitized to all of that.
