How to meet a strange dog as a child!
Hi! My name is Celia. I am the daughter of Sit Means Sits’ – Vice President of Research & Development and I am glad I live in Maui, Hawaii. Anyway, today I am going to teach you how to approach a dog if you are 15 and under or basically any age. Okay, so first say I was at the mall or the park and I saw the cutest dog in the whole world! Would I go up and stick my face in it? No, first I would ask the owner, “may I please pet your dog?” and if they say, “yeah sure”. Do not stick your face in the dog’s face, even if it looks so cute and nice, the dog can still get a little nervous and might have a good chance of nipping you. If I was approaching a bigger dog I would still approach it the same way but just a little different. (this is an example of the right way) – I would have already approached the dog, so I would stand like a tree and put my fist out for the dog to sniff me and after the dog sniffs me I would pet it under the dogs chest and make sure I do not have eye contact (I do not know why). That is how to approach a dog bigger or small the right way. See the video example, above.
