Wise K9 - Dog Training and Care

02/06/2026

When did it become ok for one dog's needs to outweigh another's?

I had two incidents today where another owner put us in a compromised position.

Owner 1 was absolutely lovely, and Penny and his dog were having a conversation at a distance with some nice body language.

But the owner then enclosed into our space because his dog 'had to say hello'.

Neither Penny or I really got a say in this, I even tried to created a little space. However, the interaction was happening before I got a chance to open my mouth.

Owner 2 was not so polite, on our Mindful Meet up and let his big dog come over after a polite request to pop his dog on lead. We were met with verbal abuse and a statement of don't bring your dog out if they aren't socialised 🙈

I mean there are lots of reasons for not having dogs off lead, or letting other dogs approach them for a start!

But on both occasions the other dogs were getting priority or their needs met first, without thinking about the other owner or dog (us).

This is your reminder to please be kind and considerate and think about the other owner / walker too. 🐾

Still time to book for the Mindful Meetup tomorrow evening 😍

Are you wanting to work on calmness or neutrality?

Maybe you have a giddy pupper, or are you an owner of a selectively social butterfly? Me too!

This is where our Wise K9 - Mindful Meetups (previously Sunday Strolls) comes into play, where:

🐾 You can mingle with fellow dog owners in a relaxed, no judgemental group.

🐾 There is safety in numbers, and quite often if someone with an off lead dog sees a group of dogs on lead, the off lead dogs are called back - and when needed I am not afraid to advocate for the group!

🐾 Dogs aren't forced into interactions, there is no head on interactions in the group - we use parallel walking and distance to promote confidence and calmness.

Off lead play isn't every dogs flavour, sociallisation is also just being happy to be around fellow humans and dogs, enjoying sniffs, treats and scenery 🐕‍🦺

Next session:
📅 Tuesday 2nd June at 6pm
📍 Newmillerdam Country Park
💷 FREE
