[nagdu] people who persist in petting

[d m gina]

I have a question for all of you.
Sense I have a small brain giggle, I am wondering when you say no 
petting, the first thing folks say is,
I have two labs at home.
My reply was go home and pet them, they will love it.
My dog isn't here for entertaining you.
When the guy reached out his hand to pet dog, I reached out my hand as well.
he jumped back.
Remember you get blindness if you shake hands with the blind.

>> Hi guys.

>> I'm curious.  What do you all do when people persist in petting your
>> dog.  I do not allow people to pet Brie, and generally, this is not a
>> problem.  I just tell whoever is asking (or petting anyway) that she
>> is working, which means I do not allow people to pet her.  I can
>> usually leave it at that.  But there are a few people who I see at
>> church and school who say things like "I know.  I'm going to pet
>> anyway."  In fact, one of those lovely people decided to pet Brie
>> while we were crossing the street.

>> I don't want to be rude and create a problem, but I'm not sure how to
>> tell them in a polite way that I don't want them petting my dog.  I am
>> also not sure if they would even listen at that point.  Part of me
>> also wonders if it's even a problem, since Brie doesn't generally get
>> distracted by this.  She only gets distracted by people she knows, and
>> those people know better.  What do you guys do?  I know I'm kind of
>> obnoxious when it comes to people petting my dog, but when she is
>> working, she is my mobility tool, not a dog on display for others to
>> play with.
