What methods you teach your clients to use when their adult dog wants to meet this strange adult dog walking in their direction?

Full Question:
Hi Cindy,

Please share with me what methods you teach your clients to use when their adult dog (the K9 is K9 friendly and on leash) wants to meet this strange adult dog (who is on leash too) walking in their direction?

Thank you,
Ron

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
I don’t allow my dogs to meet strange dogs; my dogs are taught to be neutral. I don’t tolerate aggression but I don’t allow my dogs to socialize with strange dogs from outside my family pack.

Just because the dog looks friendly or is wagging his tail does not mean he isn’t a threat to another dog, on leash or off.

We just don’t advocate this at all.

You can search on our website under dog aggression and dog parks for more examples.
