[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never trust dogs. We have worked hard to instruct our kids never to approach a dog unless 1) myself or DH is with them; and 2) we ask the owner first (from a safe distance) and receive an affirmative reply. And then, DCs put one hand palm-up close (but not too close) to the dog's nose so that the dog can check us out. Then, DCs can pet the dog on the neck/upper back area only if the owner has said it's okay. We also instruct our DCs to always stay in a position in which the dog can see you, closer to his front half than to his rear end, so that he doesn't get startled.[/quote] This. It applies to any dog. You as the owner have the right (and responsibility) to say no. Keep in mind, though, that dogs can view hands or faces coming into their faces as aggression or intimidation and may respond in kind. We teach to stand still and let the dog come to them, and then pet.[/quote]
