Got asked again last night while out on a walk with the German Shepherd while OC if that is a K-9? She is on a short leash, or off leash heel directly at my side. I can understand why some people might think I'm some type of law enforcement. The other question is, Is she in training?
The answer to both questions is YES!
She is a canine and she is in training. However she is not a Police K-9, nor is she in any kind of training where she could not be pet by others. I think this is the question most people really want to know.
How best to deal with this? I'm NOT trying to give off the impression I am law enforcement. And, my dog can be pet by anyone, as long as you ask. The owner does at times get a little surly with adults who pet without asking. I differ my answer sometimes depending on my suspicions of where it's going.
But, Is that a canine? Well, it's most certainly not a feline.
Thoughts?
