This is how to work on polite greetings when you’re out and about with your dog

Man stopping to pet woman's dog.

Dogs are often very sociable animals. You’ve probably seen either your own pup try to approach people, be they strangers or otherwise, on walks, or had other dogs say hello to you while you’re out and about yourself.

If you have a friendly dog who loves to introduce themselves to others, that can be great! However, it’s important that your pup greets people politely, and that they know they can’t approach people all the time. Not everyone likes or is comfortable around dogs, and if your dog says hi to absolutely everyone they meet, it’ll take you all day to finish your walk!
