DO WE APPROACH DOGS WHENTHEY ARE IN THEIR YARDS?
What about when they are in cars by themselves? Is it okay toreach in and pet them?
What about when they are tethered on a lead outside in theiryards? Is it okay to try to pet them?
No.
No.
No.
Dogs are territorial.
• It means that a dog willdefend its home, yardand what it perceives asits area against what itsees as intruders.
• Even though you mayhave met a dog manytimes, if its owner is notpresent, it may view
YOU as an intruder.
What’s “territorial”?
![Page 11: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
New quote for the day:
“Keep your face out of theirspace.”
It means we never kiss or put our faceclose to a dog that’s not our own.
![Page 12: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

It also means:
We don’t reach over or thru a fence to pet adog.
Nor do we
Reach through a window to pet a dog.
Oh! I HATE thosethings. I’m biting itif it comes my way!
Yum . . . Fingers!First one’s mine!
![Page 13: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Another new quote for the day:
“A dog’s not a toy – don’t teaseand don’t annoy!”
NEVER TEASE, HURT ORANNOY A DOG.
Simply put:
Why not?
• A dog that feels it’s being attacked or it’s home isbeing invaded is likely to bite.
• So we don’t accidentally teach a dog to be afraid ofkids or people.
![Page 14: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Examples of teasing orannoying a dog.
• Throwing stones.
• Throwing sticks
• Making faces or rudenoises.
• Taunting or shoutingat the dog.
• Calling the dognames.
How do we greet dogs who arewith their owners?
![Page 15: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Step 1. Ask permission from . . .
• Parents
• Guardians:
• Grandparents
• Aunts and uncles
• Teachers
Step 2. Approaching slow is theonly way we should go.
Why?
– We don’t want to startle the dog or owner.
– If the owner has a young dog who is learningits manners, the owner may need extra timeto make sure the dog is under control andexhibiting good doggy manners.
![Page 16: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Step 3. Make sure it’s sweetBEFORE you meet.
Before greeting the dog,we ask the owner’spermission.
• We need to make sure thedog is friendly and safe.
• There may be a goodreason the owner may notwant us to pet his dog atthis time.
Step 4. To understand, they sniffour hand.
• Curl your hand to keepyour fingers out of theway.
• Slowly extend yourhand.
• Let the dog come up tosniff you.
• If the dog moves away,don’t chase it; it justmeans today is not yourday to make friends.
![Page 17: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Step 5. Shoulders, chin or chest –that’s the BEST!
• Little dogs do NOT liketo be patted on thehead.
• Repeat.
• Little dogs do NOT liketo be patted on thehead.
• The owner may also tellyou where the dog likesto be petted.
YES! Rightthere!
Step 6. WARNING. Don’t run, jump orshout – it really freaks us out!
• Dogs react the way webehave.
• If you run, jump or shout,a dog might think you’replaying a game and try tochase you and jump onyou.
• Playing fetch orobedience games withyour dog are better thanplaying chase or tug ofwar.

Step 7. Don’t forget to say themagic words after petting the dog!
What do we do when we see a stray dog?
Um. . . What’s a stray dog?
![Page 19: The Dog Listener - American Kennel Clubimages.akc.org/pdf/public_education/Dog_Listener_by... · 2015-10-26 · 10/20/2015 3 It’s scared. Peppe says, “A scared dog is one that](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070717/5eddb107ad6a402d6668da5b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

A stray dog is a dog that
• Is not in its yard;
• Is wandering around;
• Does not have an owner present.

Throw a hat, book orkeys away from you, butnot at the dog, and backaway slowly.
Tell an adult.

What a cutie! Can I approach this dogand owner to ask permission to pet?
No.
Service dogscome in allsizes. Thisone is wearinga “No-Pet”patch.
Baby Phoenix looks so sad.Should we pet him or let him out?
No on both accounts.
Baby Phoenix might try todefend his space in the crate.
Baby Phoenix is in a crate forhis own safety. In the car, herides in a crate because it’ssafer if he’s in an accident. Atdog events, the crate keepshim safe from larger dogs andfrom wondering away from hisowners and getting intotrouble.

One more time . . .How do we greet a dog?
1. Ask permission from a parent/guardian.
2. Nice and slow is the way to go.
3. Make sure it’s sweet before you meet.
4. To understand, they sniff our hand.
5. Shoulders, chin or chest – that’s the best.
6. Don’t run, jump or shout, it really freaksus out.
7. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you forattending
