• I’ve noticed an increasing amount of nervous puppy owners recently. Odie will bound over and play with a puppy, who is clearly have lots of fun in the way dogs do. The owner will be wringing their hands and murmuring about how they’re playing a bit rough and I’ll have to call Odie away, much to his and the puppy’s disappointment. 🤷‍♂️
    I think there’s a lot of people who anthropomorphosise dogs a bit too much - they’re animals and they play like animals!

  • Conversely, I've got a dachshund who can't stand puppies and their wacky energy but who is always approached because he's small and cute so owners assume he'll be friendly to their puppy.

    I think a lot of people just aren't very well educated on the body language of dogs.
