I would just honestly say No. How to I avoid them? I just tell them No. No you can’t hold my dog, no you can’t touch my dog.. it is rather easy~ Unless I want ( at that time) for that person to hold Peanut, usually my answer is No. People usually ask if they can pet him, sometimes I say “ok” sometimes I say “no”. I personally don’t think I would let anyone hold Peanut… I don’t think I would be comfortable with that.

Living in an apartment complex is much harder to do this since you are around many different people, but just start telling them No- if that is something you don’t want to do. Nothing wrong with that. Just say, “No I don’t feel comfortable with that right now”. Or “I’m working on training him”.

Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna trying to say NO.
