Manners Training
Today as I worked with a lady and her dog in a local park that required dogs to be on a leash here came a lady and her three very large dogs without a leash and straight toward us. She allowed one of her dogs to come to us. We are all lucky neither of the dogs who were strangers were aggressive. The lady I was working with was able to recall her dog that was on a long leash and put it in the sit-stay beside us. The other lady called and called until the dog decided it wanted to leave.
Sadly we don’t know how dogs are going to react to strange dogs. It would be nice if we all practiced a little more safety. Don’t know how many of you have ever had to break up a dog fight, or have been bitten by a large dog. Neither is fun. Let’s allow our dogs to enjoy the outdoors in a safe manner. Remember dogs won’t have manners if the owners don’t.
