Happy Thanksgiving!! Grateful for every animal and Happy Thanksgiving!! Grateful for every animal and human I’ve come across this year. They’ve all taught me something. 

There’s a special place for these four in my heart this year though. 💕
If you don’t want someone to pet your dog, here ar If you don’t want someone to pet your dog, here are some ✅DOs and ❌DONTs: 

Do: 
✅ Thank people for asking to pet. Being kind and courteous can go a long way. 
✅ Put yourself between the person asking and your dog. This allows you to be a physical barrier between stranger and your dog. People are less likely to reach out and pet you. 😂
✅ Include them in training. Tell them what they should do instead. “Hey, thanks so much for asking, right now, we’re working on building confidence and what would be so helpful is if we just stood here and talked for a few minutes while ignoring him/or toss some treats.” Then you can go on to explain more about the situation. Maintain your position between stranger and your dog. 
✅Be direct. Sometimes people are asking while they are reaching. Saying “not today” or “No, I’m so sorry” it’s not the easiest social thing to do, but it’s important if your dog is not to be petted and time is of the essence. (And your dog should probably be muzzle trained- people don’t reach their hands out towards muzzled dogs) 

DON’T
❌ Assume they know what to do instead. Most people assume the answer will be yes and feel socially awkward if you say no. It’s not their fault, it’s part of the reason we love dogs so much. Our brains just melt around them and the typical social etiquette around dogs doesn’t work for all dogs. 
❌ Tell them, “he’s shy/she’s not friendly/he’s nervous around people” people take this as a challenge and will often do things that don’t help your dog, like talking to them, crouching down, extending a hand, making more eye contact. This also isn’t direct enough. Especially if your dog is not safe to pet- you need to be direct (and again your dog should be muzzle trained). 
❌ Tell them your dog is in training. This also yields similar results as above. People can take this as a challenge or excuse to interact with your dog. They might ask your dog to sit or ask what the dog is in training for. These aren’t inherently bad things, they just aren’t what’s helpful for your dog and doesn’t put you back in control of the situation quickly.
