This reminds me of what happened to me last summer....
I had these neighbors. They did not like dogs & were probably like the others that are scared of them. Well, every day when I was walking Sadie, this older woman & little girl (she had just learned to walk because she was wobbly, so that's her age) were outside. The little girl would always follow us. She never wanted to get close enough to touch Sadie, she was just curious about her. So when I would see them, I would turn around & go the other way. Then THEY would turn around and follow me! I would get so mad. I would make it very obvious that I was trying to get away from them. And I walk faster than them, so I could get pretty far ahead, but there are times when Sadie needs to stop & sniff & go...that is the point of us being out there, after all. S
