Sorry…….he is friendly
“My dog is friendly” is what they cry
“So what” is my reply
What makes it OK for your dog to rush over
Mine is OK on lead so we head for cover
“Please call your dog back” I repeatedly shout
“Why has yours got a problem? It shouldn’t be out”
This is where I get cross
But this is lost
Where is the recall?
That makes this acceptable
My dog likes it’s personal space
Just like me, doesn’t want anyone in their face
So think for a moment before unclipping the lead
Can you call them back instantly before they proceed
To get excited jumping all over another dog
Who may not like it and starts to see fog
If the answer is “no”, then training is the key
Obedience work is needed for your dog to go free
