Before you comment “the dog is fine”; the dog is NOT fine. They are uncomfortable and making it known. They are lip licking, trying to mouth the woman’s hands and offering whale eye 🫍 All signs of discomfort. All ways to ask for space. Dogs never bite out of nowhere.

She is physically restraining her dog with her legs and hands and removing all her dog’s choices 🙅🏼‍♀️ If this dog bit, it would be entirely justified, entirely her fault and entirely avoidable.

We also have enough painful dogs with hip, shoulder, elbow and other musculoskeletal conditions without adding fuel to the fire with stupid stunts like this one🔥

Don’t be a dick to your dog. Respect their autonomy, give them choices, don’t touch them when they say no and do the bare minimum by learning a little about dog body language.

We also need to remember that socialisation is NOT about meeting and interacting with loads of dogs and people. That’s a recipe for a reactive dog 👩🏼‍🍳 you’ll also notice the lead is on in every one of these situations 👀 management to set your dog up for success is crucial 🔑

Socialisation shouldn’t end after their critical period is over. The socialisation period in dogs runs from 3-16 weeks, during which time we want to be building a huge bank of positive and neutral experiences with the world so our dogs learn what is normal and safe 🏦

However, you’re not finished once this period ends 🏞️ Continued safe exposure to dogs, people, sounds, textures, smells and experiences is vital throughout adolescence.

Never force them to approach, try to avoid extended, high-arousal interactions with unknown dogs and people and pair experiences with a tasty treat 🍪

Spend time watching the world go by; sat on a bench, from the boot of the car 🚗 Continue to show them that the world is full of things that they don’t need to be frightened of or excited by.

The best socialisation you can do is to get out on walks with older, socially-skilled dogs so your young dog can practise being around dogs in a low-arousal way and observe how an adult dog engages with the world 🌱
