Introduce Yourself to the Forum / New to the forum

New here and thought I would introduce me and Ruby.
Ruby is a 16 month old bullmastiff malamute mix and she is all character. She looks more like a random collection of doggie parts than either breed but she is still got that puppy charm to the point that strangers ask if they can pet her.
At 25.5 inches she's stopped growing but she's still filling in a bit (77 lbs).

To reinterate what everyone else has said - yup he is rebelling, points for his creativeness!
I've got a Malamute/BullMastiff mix and when she was going through a few "teen" phases she came up with the weirdest stuff to mess with me. The most creative was screaming when I made her down*,  this was an escalation from whining the day before, by the third day she just did it when I asked as she got that I wasn't buying her hysterics.
If I am spoiling her with too many trips to off leash dog walks she will drag her paws and walk behind me when leashed. She will move so slow I almost need to drag her until she gives up and trots along with me.
I use a martingale collar on her and it works great, but she's a beta girl generally.

* making her down wasn't anything harsh, just following up on my command by pulling the lead down so she was in the "vulture pose" and then standing on the lead and ignoring her till she complied
