Ever had someone let their “friendly” dog drag them straight toward yours — totally ignoring boundaries? 😬 It happens all the time in group classes. Many of my clients try polite responses like “my dog’s in training” or “my dog’s a service animal,” but that usually opens up a whole conversation — aka, a can of worms 🪱.
So here’s a better line that shuts things down fast:
👉 “My dog has worms. Is it a good idea for your dog to be this close?”
Like magic, that owner suddenly finds all the strength in the world to pull their dog away. 💪
It’s polite, firm, and keeps your space respected — no debate needed.
