Re: the rituals of ‘greet’

[deebee]

well, thanks claire but i think its the food he loves lol, hes a labrador!

his cues are iffy, depends on if he has seen the dog before. alot of the time we cant greet (even if the other owner is willing) because he gets very strong and excited and the other dog picks up on it and either gets silly or worried. with alfie we moved gradually closer in parralell walk as he is older calmer dog. max got less silly as he got used to seeing alfie. he is also getting used to the fact that just because there is a dog nearby, we dont go rushing over.
