Useful Tip

Are you a jogger?  If so; you may not have given this much thought but running up from behind on a dog can be dangerous.  Running shoes today are quiet and often people do not even hear you approaching from behind.  You might want to consider making some noise when you approach someone out walking their dog.  Some dogs and even people are easily startled and their reaction can be unpredictable; so try to make some noise to let them know someone is approaching them from behind.

First Day Of Spring

Useful Tip

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me where someone else is walking their dog and wants to have a socializing encounter.  I have been told over and over again, "my dog is friendly, they love other people and dogs."  Then the next thing I know, this person's dog has lunged at my dog; biting, barking, and growling.  Of course, the person is immediately apologetic saying, "they have never done that before."  I think just like people, dogs can be intimidated by a larger dog.  This became such a frequent occurrence while I was out with my dogs; I stopped having encounters.  Whenever you decide to have a socializing encounter with dogs; try to have it with someone you know as well as their dog.  Bad encounters can do permanent damage; encounters should be pleasant experiences for everyone.
