I never want to make a social media post that would ever come across as performative, so sometimes I just don’t make the post. But today I realized that with my reluctance I may actually doing more harm than good. It’s a no brainer to me that everyone is welcome and that all should be treated not just equally, but with kindness, compassion and respect. Sadly, that isn’t reality.

So, if you aren’t already aware, you are always welcome and safe here with me. 🌈 ❤️ 🐕

“He let me pet him!”

Many dogs will tolerate things humans do to them, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a positive experience for them. Many dogs that don’t want to be touched will give body language signals expressing that … lip licks, whale eye, ears back, freezing, head down….

When that body language is not recognized and the human continues to engage in forced interactions, or allows strangers to do so, we can see snapping, barking and biting as an escalation.
“He used to be fine!”
Fine is one of those words that doesn’t tell me much other than the dog wasn’t reacting. When we ignore body language, the animal has no choice but to escalate their behaviour.

“How do I know a dog wants to be pet?”
Let them come to you.
They often will solicit the interaction, their body language should be loose and wiggly, there shouldn’t be any conflicted behaviour.
