Eek. Are we still teaching this?
"Mum, can I pat the cute dog?"
"Sure, just reach your hand right out and let them sniff you first."

And it's not just children we've been teaching this to.
It's generational, and it's well and truly established as "how to greet a dog".

But somewhere along the way, we've confused letting a dog gather a bit more information with asking them to accept more physical contact from us.

Dogs don't need a hand presented to their face to smell us.
They really can smell us from metres away.

Do dog trainers disagree on this?
Yes.
Because yes, dogs can gather additional scent information by investigating things up close. I'm not disputing that
But I'm all for safety!
I see a wet floor, I'm gonna put a cone on it.
When I see hands reaching out towards an unfamiliar dog's face?
I'm going to say "please stop".

Because putting a hand directly into a dog's personal space can be the very thing that leads to a bite.

One thing is for sure, though.
Many dogs will choose to come closer to gather more information.
And yes, they can even do it when they're unsure about the person they're investigating.

A sniff doesn't mean an emotional connection has just been made.
It's not any sort of invitation.
And it certainly isn't proof of trust.

So how about we normalise keeping our hands by our sides?

And please, let's teach children a different way. Because this is one piece of advice that really doesn't need passing down to another generation

Shylah and Duchess playing.

Shylah, the black dog, is with California Bully Rescue and is 10 mos old. She is ready for a new home. She has hr basics down and loves to be cuddled.

Duchess is with the City of Lodi and is also 10 mos old. She is friendly and loves to work. She enjoys water, has her basics down and I believe would be a good sports dog. View Adoptable Animals | Lodi, CA https://share.google/jJOJyVOH6B0P8Jzyn
