Join Drayton and Kim as they discuss dog etiquette. The secret is dog etiquette isn't all about the dog, it's about people. Dog owners, dog lovers and anyone who encounters a dog all play a role in how a dog is going to behave, in addition to the environment that interaction takes place in. Drayton goes through simple, quick, and easy ways to manage your dog at home and eliminate issues with guests, doorbells, and special occasions. Then we go outside and talk about how to advocate for your dog with strangers, how to deal with people who want to meet your dog (and people who don't), and using cues your dog already knows. We'll also talk about socializing your puppy vs your adult dog. We also have a discussion about taking your dog to restaurants, cafes, and with you at public places.
