Why is it that people feel the need to approach your dog in a disrespectful manner? Kids and adults alike!
They run up to the dog, cooing and speaking in rapid high pitches, they physically touch the dog without permission, they get in the dogs face when the dog is giving them obvious signs to back off....? Why?
I tell anyone that attempts to do this that my dog is not a fan of strangers in her face and they continue attempting to do it anyway (my worst experiences occurring in a Petland) so I leave.
Also most kids are NOT taught manners. They never ASK if they can pet my dog.
Anyone been in the same situation? What do you do with these people? Very irritating
