Hi all and Welcome Holyhead!! Holyhead in North Wales hosted a "dog fun day" recently and with my Mum and Dad Pack Leading the event it was a great success - they have been well-trained by me :-)
Thank-you for your comment - I have been asked a question about humans out jogging and dogs - which is a coincidence as I am about to write a post on that very subject as it came up recently in email discussions with fellow dog whisperer followers in the USA. This was prompted by a very unfortunate incident where a jogger was attacked by a large pack of loose dogs, so joggers and dog owners recommended to read my post to all stay safe when out and about. Worth mentioning that such incidents are very rare but again one is too many - so check back in soon for the real story on the mix of joggers and dogs from my view, and that of my dogs too!! Tips and advice on what to do if out jogging or out walking your dogs with joggers passing by.
Let's make how to "jog and dog" or if you prefer "dog and jog" common knowledge!!
Then we can look at how to meet or not to meet a strange dog, or even one you already know! Guess what - this is so not the way us humans do as this can actually cause an unwanted response from a dog! For a quick example - if you lean forward towards a dog this can make a dog stop or not approach...if you lean back then that is inviting them into your space so encouraging an approach, so you see what I mean it is the opposite of how us humans would naturally react when meeting each other by moving forwards.... so we can confuse a dog and ourselves!!
ps. We're not on Facebook ....yet!!!
