Just stand still and let dogs sniff you - no need to hold your hand out, it can be threatening (and you might be risking a bite).

A truly horrifying story for some dogs.
👻🎃💀👿👹☠️👻🎃💀👹☠️

Robin, like many dogs gets stressed at the vet clinic.
We use medication, toys and discussions in advance with the vet team to minimize stress.

All was going perfect, just as planned.

That is until..

A vet assistant who wasn't on the team walked in.
And what happened next was truly terrifying.....
She stuck her hand in his face to sniff it. 🙀

No!

He gave her a grumble and I asked her to move away.
Yes, I know he's adorable and almost irresistible.

Luckily he did not bite but he did have to grumble and say "back off".

This story is not meant to be mean to a very nice vet assistant.
I share this scary story to warn of the...
Hand in the Dog's Face. One of the scariest things strangers do.

Spooky! Fearfully scary! The horror!
👻🎃 🦴 ☠️

This was a "fear free" certified person. Folks, we have to stop this madness. Dogs can smell you, no need to shove your hand in their face, especially with a short king like Robin because when you put your hand in their face you will inadvertently loom over them which makes it even spookier!

TURN TAKING

,
If you have multiple dogs, it's a good idea to introduce them to the concept of taking turns. This builds patience and can help prevent resource guarding (as they learn that everyone will get a reward).

With this exercise I have the dogs be fairly close together, but not too close. This helps prevent discomfort/pressure while eating next to another dog.

These type of exercises and games build cooperation between the person and the other dog(s) in the household. I start these games fairly early with a new/puppy dog.

Don't underestimate the power of these small games in building a good foundation for your new dog/puppy. :-)

Important in dog training and in life!

The power of positive reinforcement! I think I've shared this before, but it is special now because Ava and Jeb are gone. The blue bathtub finally broke and I can't find a new one, so Joe is currently using a dish pan (good thing he isn't very big)!!

LOSING PRIVILEGES

Today I was standing by the window at my parents' house when a person with a large dog walked by and let her dog lift his leg on my parents' potted plant (they have a nicely landscaped yard). I knocked on the window and the person looked very surprised.

When did this become appropriate etiquette for dogs? Who wants urine soaked pots or plants?

This is why we are losing privileges as dog owners. Dogs that lift their legs and soak public property do not make a case for inviting dogs to public places.

How can we counteract this? Why, get to training, of course! See a telephone pole, garbage can, retaining wall - walk on by!

Marking behavior is normal, but it can be managed and trained - especially in public. Male dogs should not expect to lift their legs on anything that is man made. This can be trained using a “not there” cue. There are plenty of other times/places a dog can mark to their heart's content.

Please consider that how you manage your dog in these type of situations effects everyone's opportunities to have their dogs in public places. We have such an opportunity to showcase good behavior in our dogs when out in public - let's do it!
