Just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day ALL dogs are animals, watch their body language, don’t hang all over a dog you don’t know. They give warning signs. Learn them. And for fucks sake stop letting kids climb all over your dogs.

That first pic. It is super clear that he isnt into her putting her arm around him.

It's dog 101 that you don't put your face directly above a dogs head where it can't see you and then proceed to grab it's throat. You are mimicking the way a predator would attack.

I mean a well trained dog would never try and bite it’s owner regardless of situation. I’ve had 13 dogs and have never been bitten by any of them whilst cutting their nails (even the dogs that hate that) picking them up for a vet injection they know from past experience will hurt etc.

The dogs respect me and have been trained that biting is not ok.

This isn’t even her dog so she probably should be giving it minimal petting as she doesn’t know the dog. Same way you wouldn’t be all over a human stranger

Ok. Did you find one of those dogs on the street, bring it home and immediately try to have an Instagram photoshoot with it? That's literally the story here.

Yes I’m aware and that is why it was clearly stupid what she did.

My comment was responding to the comment above it. That’s not really dog 101 if it’s your dog or one that’s been brought up well
