How to cope with the cold looks? Just ignore it. Ensure that your pets are well behaved, UTD on the vaccines, and you follow the creatures regulations enforced in your area.

I'd also recommend (only my estimation) not to actively try and do something to alter these people's views. It may be a pain in the butt but you look after your pets and you. So long as you're doing that there must be no issues in order for them to complain about and the reality may be eventually seen by them is much diverse from what they currently believe it is. When I told I surely got to pay attention to all of the press and her my puppy was a bull" my mother definitely flipped spread BS. I simply told her "that's not how it's but when you're afraid of her then don't come over." Properly, mom's being what they're she couldn't steer clear (particularly when I'd say I'm not making your dog alone that long in the future up there) so they met. Now all I hear from her is "she's so good natured and loving", "she's so sweet", an such like. An such like. That we assume may be the same manner your dogs are and the method that you experience them. But my mother had to alter her views of "those dogs" himself. Appears to be the easiest way to start it.
