Dogs - Human Expectations For Dogs

Dogs Training :

What are some expectations we have of dogs?
We expect dogs to be:
• Well-socialized: comfortable with all types of
people, places, and things.
• Comfortable with all types of handling by all
types of people.
• Friendly with all other dogs and all other
animals.


It should be fine to:
• Have anyone run toward a dog.
• Ride a bike past a dog.
• Throw a stick near a dog.
• Have children playing – yelling, wrestling,
play fighting – near a dog.
• Leave a dog tied outside a store while you are
shopping.


But, not all dogs can meet these expectations.
Why not?
• Shy dogs can become more comfortable in
some situations, but they may not become
comfortable in all types of situations.
• Some dogs are born genetically unstable.
Shy dogs need our help to live in society. You
can help these dogs to:
• Have more relaxed relationships with people
• Become more comfortable with handling
• Improve their social skills and manners
Special homes can be found for most dogs who
lack good social skills. You can help by:
• Screening potential homes carefully to find the
right match

• Counseling the adopters on management and
training of their dog, so the dog will have a
home for life
• Doing follow-up to create and maintain a relationship
with the adopters
