Great post.
Keeping people away with body language, explaining and moving away are such useful tips.
Thank you again for sharing some helpful and useful training tips for communicating with ‘a dog need to pat’ strangers. “No” is my answer with Eps most of the time. The times I do aqueous are rare and selected people who I try to give clear instructions to. Eps has improved and we keep practicing. Some people don’t ask… People with dogs who state “they are friendly” and to “let dogs be dogs” are often my greatest challenge to communicate with or avoid. I am grateful for you sharing a card to give these people when it happens again.
Thank you.
