[Mistymillar]

I am, actually I can't explain how I am feeling about this. When I am out I will interact with many dogs ( always have, even though I have not until now had a wee darlin' of my own.) I am not aware of being an intruder, or of anyone being upset that I want to meet and converse with their canine family.
I don't worry about strangers talking to, petting or wanting to play with Alfie.

If I feel uncomfortable with a dog or human then I don't interact.

What is socialising and what is the benefit if it is not sociable for your pup and for you?

I will stretch my hand to any Staffie, sit face to face with a Great Dane, or chuckims a poodle. I want to be social with dogs and almost all dogs want to be social with me.

To behave otherwise to me is alien so I am probably the type of person who is making you feel annoyed.

Like I said I don't know how to feel about this topic, but it has just dawned on me that this may be pissing some people off.

I think I am too old to change. And I think generally most dogs love the attention. I know I love it when I know they are so paying attention to me. Such connections.
