Re: Strangers stroking your dog?
I get what you do too Aerolor and like I said I dont consider your method as bad practice I just have a different method. Two working sighthounds and a working falconry dog need to work for me and me alone. Once back indoors they mooch and wander about as they wish. When guests knock they dont rush to the door assuming the guests are theirs (not that im suggesting yours does). They just are chilled out and calm. I cant stress enough that I find no fault in others training but there's 22 dogs here and a slightly different angle is used otherwise there'd be chaos!!Re: Strangers stroking your dog?

Yes, everytime I take Dutchess for a walk, or to one of the Pet Food stores. She walks nicely on her leash, people ask if she is friendly & I tell them yes. And she stands nicely while the people pet her, scratch her behind the ears, etc.
