Actually, it's just occurred to me that if I had my time again, I'd probably think about muzzling my girl.... not because she's in any way dangerous, but people tend to gush less over a dog wearing a muzzle LOL!

My dog went though a stage of pinching/chewing all the grooming equipment when I took her to my mate's yard, so I got her a Baskerville Muzzle, acclimatised her to it with the help of a clicker, and used it when we went to the yard so that I didn't have to follow her everywhere all the time.... it worked a treat, she didn't mind it and she soon grew out of the kleptomania, but it was amazing how differently some people treated her when she was muzzled; even people who knew she was perfectly friendy!

Yep, if I ever get another dog, I shall muzzle it, give it a name like "Tyson" or "Arnie" or "Ripper" and when it approaches people I don't want it to, I shall yell "GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR, COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS AND DON'T MOVE!!!!!!!"

That should stop them encouraging strange dogs
