We have been talking about reactivity and anxiety lately and this is something I am always thinking about.
Following a talk in the Canine Advocates, I decided to purchase a lead cover to inform people to GUVE US SPACE. This does work but sometimes people decide that ok this rather big dog that resembles a wolf a little will love me and still insist on trying to stroke him or putting their hands out. Enter Leif wearing his brand new very becoming rain coat, clearly stating he is anxious.
There is no mistaking to leave him alone! Perhaps it will also ensure that people are understanding when he barks back at their dog too.
