I also have a shepherd. I tell everyone his name is "John" similar, to but 
yet not his real name. At my university, everyone wants to pet my dog, and, 
I figure it's a losing battle to stop it. So, I just correct him when he 
gets distracted by the petting, and let people do what people are going to 
do. Some battles are just not worth fighting.
