omg the worst experience I've had with someone greeting my dog was someone saying "don't worry, I love dogs!" as she's towering over my dog and he's stiff as a stick. she wouldn't listen when I told her to back off and it took my dog days to trust her. meanwhile anyone who =

I taught my daughter to ask owner but since getting a dog, I see owners who can't read their dog's cues AT ALL and I was WRONG. 😳

As a vet tech, clients get mad when I don't run up their pet to greet them. I have to explain that most dogs don't like humans running up on them.

I usually hunch down and hold my hand slightly in front of me. Then I let the dog approach me. Then you just have to read how the dog reacts.

also people who don't understand my puppy can't play with your dog when on a short leash...it's for both dogs safety

I’ve corrected dogs jumping on me, and the owner got upset. 😬 I didn’t even want to greet their dog. I was just wanting to talk to the person.

This just unintentionally explained the difference between dog and cat people so well 😂 a great explainer on dog etiquette also!

It’s not like the dog didn’t smell you from from a mile away 🤦♀️introduce with dog approaching first and only from shoulders back is my rule💁♀️

Thank you! One of my biggest pet peeves is people getting my dog overly excited then saying “no, it’s okay!” When he jumps on them 😑

Maddie Miller :
I think it’s also a misconception because cats don’t want to be touched generally without a quick hand sniff so people think it’s the same

Mace doesn’t mind being pet by strangers as long as they approach correctly. But she hates ppl in her face

I always put my dog on a sit when ppl are coming, so she won’t try to jump excitedly on them, but ppl just go pet her anyway. It’s so frustrating! 😩

My shar pei isn’t much interested in people. If new people show too much interest, he avoids them. 😂Best way to meet him is ignore him. 👍

I'd ignore them and let them come up to me first until I feel like acknowledging them. no eye contact either

I love this. This is so hard for me working for a boarding facility. I try to earn trust slowly but most owners get annoyed with how long it can take

As an owner of a young and energetic GSD, thank you 🫠 people have said its ok for her 85 lbs to jump on them, but what if she needs to see grandma??

Vet tech and nervous dog owner, I always go for a sideways crouch, let them approach, and initial touch on the side of a shoulder

people are esp disrespectful to small dogs. some old lady picked up my yorkie once without permission. no thoughts about stressing her out.

my excited dog gets all the high pitched jumpy rewards from people and it absolutely ruins all the training

1. is it wrong to get down to their level and reach out hand (but not in their face maybe like 1 meter away) and wait to see if they come to you?

I think my dog is the least sensitive dog (with humans) on the planet. A stranger could flip him upside down and he'd think it was the best day ever😹

Yes ALL OF THESE! It’s so important to pay attention to the dog’s body language when greeting them!

I’ll look but I wait for the dog to come to me if they want attention & leave my hand by my side palm out & always wait for the owners permission

Mostly I ignore the dog. Sometimes I sit on the floor while talking to/looking at the owner. Always let them leave when they want

when I want to interact with a dog I gently slap my leg they seem to equate the motion with tail wagging

Good advice 👍 I generally ignore boisterous dogs until they calm down, then I'll reward the calm behavior by petting it (with the owner's okay)
