Please, please don't let your dogs rush up to others; especially when both are on lead! Foolishly, I spotted the other dogs lead and incorrectly judged we were at a safe distance to continue working.

Our public training with little Rosie was going really well until a member of the public allowed her dog to charge in with the full length of an extendable lead!

It didn't take much to see we were clearly working, but we had to wrap up and end the session early as it was incredibly stressful and left Rosie unable to decompress and re-engage, frantically seeking reassurance.

What started out very successful soon ended up being a really frightening experience for her, and has quite likely set us back somewhat.

Please be considerate and seek permission before allowing your dog to greet another, and even with permission, manage it appropriately.

Rant over!

WHY I 'IGNORE' YOUR PET

When I walk into your home, I always 'ignore' your anxious or fearful pet (cat or dog) and wait patiently for them to make the first move.

I don't crowd them or touch them without consent. I don't face them head-on or stare them in the eye. I just observe them without putting them in a worse emotional position. Even when they venture close to me, I refrain from touching them. And no, I don't extend my hand so that they can smell me as they could smell me when I entered the gate already due to their keen sense of smell. Extending my hand just scares them. No sudden movements. No loud voices. Just calmness. I wait patiently for them to initiate contact and communication with me. Even then, I limit contact to 3 second bursts.

Sniffing me is not an invitation for me to touch! The dog is gathering information about me. I wait for him to nose me or paw me or lick me and then may pat them. Even then, I pause for corroboration (wait for another sign) to ensure that it's OK to pat them. Rather err on the side of caution and go slow.

I 'ignore' your pet out of love and respect. I give them choices. Choice based behaviour modification builds self-esteem and confidence.

Now you know why I 'ignore' your pet...

Ps - when I say ignore, I mean respect 🙂
