[nagdu] People who persist in petting

[Sarah]

wow I wish Wizard was like Monty.  Wizard would never ever back 
away from a petting.  I have to correct him because he'll go up 
and sniff and nudge people who are just minding their own 
business and ignoring Wizard.

That was a good way to handle it!  Actually, sence Holly is a 
labradoodle
and very sweet, she has a major cuteness factor going on!  
Sometimes I have
to get tough but mostly not so much.

 Hi Julie and Everyone,
 I had an incident two summers ago out in a town called Greenport 
.  I was
 doing day things with friends as I was on vacation.  We went out 
of a store
 and stood on the sidewalk figuring out which way to walk.  A man 
came over
 and started petting Anna.  I asked very nicely "Please don't pet 
the dog
 it's is working.  When you see a dog in harness its working and 
you should
 not distract it.  He said I like dog.  He continued to pet the 
dog.  I said
 again in a firm voice Please don't pet the dog you are 
distracting it.  He
 said again I like dogs.  So the only thing I could do was drop 
the harness
 shorten the leash and stood in front of Anna so now he couldn't 
pet the
 dog as I was blocking him.  He then walked away.  My friends and 
I couldn't
 believe it but they thought what I did was good.  Sometimes we 
have to take
 further steps when someone won't listen and block them so they 
can't pet
 the dog.
 Marilyn and Anna
