Dog Aware – Proximity

Proximity

What do we mean by Proximity?  How close is your dog to something that may be stressful or conflicting.  Ex:  other dog, toddler, vacuum, garbage truck, unfamiliar person or crowded hallway.  All of these are examples of situations where proximity comes into play.  If your do feels uncomfortable then they will be sharing body language indicating stress or discomfort.  Using your doggie detective® skills you are better able to recognize this and take action.

Growded spaces Grumpy faces.  Yes, another fun rhyme from Family Paws.  Let’s talk about it.  Check out our Grumble Zones and Growl Zones
