When you’re walking your dog and pass another person with their dog, just keep walking.
Don’t stop in the middle of the path and put your dog in a sit and expect the other dog to just walk by.

I see this way too often and wonder why this is what so many people do.

Unless you’ve practiced this with your dog, it’s not helping (and usually just makes things harder for everyone)
