I always let a dog know that I am aware of them and make eye contact. Also call to them and try to make friends. The one exception to this is if you run into an aggressive alpha maile. In that case, eye contact will be read as a challenge that must be dealt with. Standing your ground but avoiding eye contact tells the alpha male you are not intimidated but also not a threat to his alpha status. I've met two dogs on the trail since the bad guys. One startled the hell out of me by barking behind me. When I whirled, it was instantly obvious that he was just saying "hi". He had his human at the other end of a leash. I saw the other coming. He was free-roaming, but when his owner saw me in the distance he called the dog and leashed it. When we got close the dog rushed me, nearly pulling his owner off his feet. It was a golden retreiver with a great smile and typical golden enthusiasm. The owner was about to apologize but saw that it wasn't necessary since I was laughing. Nearly all labs and goldens love everybody and just naturally assume that everyone loves them. Ayup. Ive never met a golden that was bad tempered or a one man dog, and labs nearly the same. If all dogs were Goldens..life would be good! The only problem is..Goldens are getting smarter every generation..and they may evolve past humans. I've been told that crossing a Border Collie with a Doberman is a bad idea. You get a dog which wants to rule the world, and is smart enough to figure out how to pull it off. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |
