I would like to know more on this. We don't allow Loki to jump up to greet people, but I don't really go farther than that. I take him to the playground a lot to socialize him with kids. They all give him a treat. He thinks kids = treats! Anyway I usually ask him to sit and I feed him while I have them pet his back. Otherwise they go for his head and he either backs away and tries to sniff their hands or he just pulls away because he doesn't like the kids to grab his head. (He is always gentle with them and tolerates it but he gets stiff so I know he hates it. He hates when I pat him on the head too.) I always thought he would try to sniff their hand because he is sniffing for a treat? So if there is a more concrete reason I will definately use that in our encounters with the kids at the park! |
