ATTENTION DOG OWNERS:
FYI: No one is obliged to like your dog. You and you alone are in love with your dog. Most people have no way of knowing if your dog wants petted or wants to bight someone.
Years ago I had a german shepherd and hired a trainer. I wanted that she walk along side of me without a leash. He advised against it as a dog may interpret a person’s action coming towards you as aggressive and attack. If they’re on a leash, you can control the dog.
