⚠️ To the people who own friendly or non reactive dogs, please listen ⚠️
We know if you have a friendly dog that
you don't understand the struggle of owning a reactive dog but as reactive dog owners we are trying to educate you to help keep you and your dog safe along with our own.
If you see us walking our dogs and notice we cross the road to creat distance or we have stopped and are trying to keep our dog focused on us and not you and your dog.. Please just keep walking. Don't stop, don't walk closer to us, don't try to talk to us, don't say "it's ok my dogs friendly" or anything similar, we understand your dog is but ours is not.
Our reactive dogs still deserve to go for walks and enjoy sniffing and seeing the world. We are always on alert for triggers, we are always keeping our dogs in check, training and doing our best to help our dogs be more relaxed and less reactive.
It is physically, mentally and emotionally draining for us to take our dogs out in public, but we are doing our best..
So I beg you, PLEASE understand this, please help us and our dogs by being understanding and respectful
Having a reactive dog can be a lonely experience that affects your entire life. Knowing there are people out there who understand and empathize makes it easier ❤️❤️
@WarringtonBC any reason why mine and my neighbours black bins haven’t been taken this morning when everyone else’s has? And while I’m on this we pay for green bins, in the summer why can’t these be collected weekly rather than fortnightly?!?
