I wasn't very good at it a few years ago, but as I've learned more about body language and could SEE how uncomfortable Maisy was, it got easier.Crystal (Thompson) Barrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738188430244886019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-69687133717280470782011-10-16T06:30:56.584-05:002011-10-16T06:30:56.584-05:00One of the hardest problems for me is trying to be...One of the hardest problems for me is trying to be direct (and sometimes rude, if the situation demands it) when confronting people about not touching, or letting their dogs come near to, Lola. It sounds like you don't have that problem, which is awesome!<br /><br />Pushy people (and pushy dogs) just ruin everything.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721603841095284237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-91498950754235490762011-10-14T08:54:21.182-05:002011-10-14T08:54:21.182-05:00I think it's amazing how many dog owners don&#...I think it's amazing how many dog owners don't understand their own dog's body language, much less that of other dogs.

And it drives me straight up a wall.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-51525493307569260802011-10-13T22:18:53.959-05:002011-10-13T22:18:53.959-05:00Great post!

There's just no reason I would ever let my dogs greet a stranger's dog on leash.Laura and The Corgi, Toller, & Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437492165453445126noreply@blogger.com
