Its starting to frustrate me!! I want my dogs to be Social and they are! I run a small doggy daycare out of my home for military famlies. But I dont want them to be OVERLY Social with people, Ya know?!?
Even thou there are thousands of people who LOVE dogs, there are also a lot out there who dont and I dont want my babies to think they can run up to every person, not knowing that ONE person HATEs or are afraid of dogs. I dont want them to get hurt.
I try not to let them get close to people when I walk them. trying to get them NOT want to be petted by EVERY one who walks by, but then I get these evil looks or they just come across the ST. to pet them.
I even had a lady fallow me for like a block just to pet them. And that cute and all but when it happens EVERY DAY!! Every time I take them out. which is like 3 times a day not including just taking them out in my front yard to go potty AND!! people stopping and watching them. Even call them to the gate, which P!$$$ me OFF the most!
Its driving me a little crazy here!
Its feels like I am living in a glass house or something!
How do you tell a person HEY!! Dont touch my dog with out saying HEY dont touch my dog.
I have tried, telling them no when they ask to pet them or pick them up.
I have tried just ignoring them, which half the time I dont mean to scent I dont speak or understand german very well.
How do you be nice about it when its happens every time I walk out my door?
Why do people think they can just pick up or pet someone else dog!? With out even asking!! even if it is 3lb!! They can still bite! Even thou mine wont hurt a fly, but still ya know!!!
Who gave them this right!!???!! |
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I dress up my dogs and take them place with me but not near as much as I would like becasue people always want to pet them, touch them, or just ask me a million question and children want to hold them and to be honest people just wont leave me alone. I dont take my dogs places for attention like some people do. I take them with me becasue I personally enjoy thier company. I am actually really shy and I dont like public attention so this keeps me from being able to take chloe out with me as much as I would like because I hate the attention. I also get annoyed when I have chloe in the car with me and I go through a drive thru and they want me to give her a hard doggy biscuit. I dont want to be rude and not accept it but chloe hates them and she chokes on them becasue they are so hard. And little kids always want to hold my dogs which makes me really uncomfortable. I had a little boy from church throw tinkerbell on the ground once
. I was soooo mad and I dont ever like kids holding my dogs. They are entirely too unpredictable. I try really hard not to make eye contact with people when I am out with one of my dogs. I knwo it is rude, but I always feel uncomfortable telling people "no" so I just try to avoid the situation all together. I wish I could go somewhere with my dog- wether it be on a walk or to a store and everyone can just leave me alone
