If one of your current dog training challenges is to have your dog calmly greet people then you'll probably understand this challenge very well. If you're trying to stop your dog from jumping up on people, or you're trying to stop your dog from pulling on the leash, then having people coming and asking to pet your dog is one of your biggest challenges.

I'm going to play this video in the parking lot with a big projector so that all my neighbors can stop doing what they ALL do.

It’s helpful for me to hear others having this problem. We should start a support group.
The other day I was using the leash and treats to control and redirect my dog when passing a person. He quickly told me to stop treating her and that it was my negative energy that was causing her reaction. He wanted me to just let her meet naturally without my direction.
So challenging 😣

Ken in that wig was Hilarious!! Another great video, thanks McCann Dogs x

This happens to me all the time. I don't have a puppy. I have a service dog. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who want to pet him, many of which don't even ask first. I've had people approach me and my dog from behind and just start petting him without myself or even my dog knowing they were coming. Then they continue to do so even after I've asked them to stop. It's a very difficult situation when you are physically disabled and feel trapped, unable to control what's happening. Ironically, it's the adults who are the worst. Kids seem to know what a service dog is and know that you can't distract or pet them. Meanwhile, I just had a grown man in Target whistle and call at my dog even though he said he knew it was a service dog and that he couldn't pet it. Somehow you are turned into the bad guy when you tell people not to pet your dog. Thank you for putting out this video. I wish more people learned how to behave around dogs!

I NEEDED this video. I’m getting a pup in a few months and I’ve been worried about people interrupting our training.

[lordzlomek]

I'm getting a puppy in about 3 months. Already talked to my family & friends (especially those who get over-excited around dogs) and told them what I will be expecting of them and what they shoudn't be doing. Some of them were a bit disappointed ("sooo... I won't be able to pet your puppy?") but honestly speaking, I don't care. I'm getting my dog for myself, not for my auntie, cousin, my neighbour or his dog thus I don't want everyone around to teach my dog that over-excitement is something cool.

[MomoTaroSamoyed]

I usually say ‘no sorry my puppy can get diarrhea.” And it works!

[oiseaufeu]

I think people need some training around dogs and not only the dogs. So many people don't know how to present themselves to dogs. You should make a video on how people should meet dogs. Also, not all people ask to pet for your dog as so many people are ignorant about how to ask. It aslo apply for dog greetings.

[kafkamatt]

I've tried to talk to people who approach my pup, but they 9 out of 10 fail to respect my request causing the pup to fail.

[patrickwalsh]

So many people don't even ask, they just come right up and start petting. The worst of them literally got down on the floor and let the dog lick all over her face.. all without asking. I have him wear a vest that says "Do Not Pet" and that really throws these people off.. these people really need to learn impulse control more than my dog does

[THEforeigner]

This has been one of the hardest things to train with my pup. She adores everyone and everything around her and I have trouble recapturing her attention, LOL

[shandyblake]

Oh man, I am dying over Ken in that wig!! What a great video!

[simoneperkins]

This is so hard with social distancing due to the pandemic, trying to keep control when she goes over to people without going near them ourselves

[cablebill]

I've had dogs all growing up and I don't remember people coming up to pet them without at least asking first. I recently just brought home a corgi puppy and while we were at the park some man walks up with a leash in hand, does not say a word, and tries to put the leash around the puppy WHO IS SITTING IN MY LAP. I was so dumbfounded I couldn't even get words out and just ending up loudly saying NO and pulling her away. His excuse was that he keeps leashes in his car and he thought she might need one. People are unbelievably ignorant and lacking social grace when in the presence of a dog. A happy puppy is NOT an open invitation to come over and pet my dog.

[hello_its_jo]

So helpful, many thanks for this video, it’s my biggest challenge meeting people with my pup at the moment, she’s so excited and people always let her jump up and stroke her... I find it hard telling them not to without being rude.

[sakamotors]

Ken's acting is so good, so natural, and the get up is perfect 😂

[nachoijp]

For friends and neighbors, it shouldn't be a problem to tell them to be calm around your dog. For strangers, just tell them that the dog bites and they'll keep their distance

[jackietruter]

Haha 😂 that wig! Great video, so helpful! Thank you.. it’s really hard when you progress so well with your puppy and other people just think it’s ok to just walk up and either give their unwanted advice such as - he should be off the lead 🤦🏻‍♀️!! Or they wind my puppy up and make him too excited to listen

[BushmanBove]

Great video on the importance of advocating for your dog, we have to do it because our girl can be shy of meeting people we would like ( including some strangers) advising them what to do & how to react.

[saraaah]

Thank you for this video!!! My puppy (dogue de bordeaux) is 6 months and because while out people keep calling her over shes started jumping up, because theyre not asking first to pet her! Its actually making it difficult because when shes fully grown people wont be as inclined to even say hello to her😩
