Social Petiquette

Our event on Saturday isn't just a time to spend with our dogs but also a time where we get to meet and bond with our fellow PDH members and dog enthusiasts. Here are some of the social petiquettes we must follow:

1. Scoop the poop

Leaving your dog's poop on the floor might lead to unwanted situation wherein other people and dogs step on it. If you don't want it to happen to you, make sure that you don't cause it to others as well.

2. Watch your dog

As your dog's owner, you need to be responsible for him or her. Always make sure that he is not in danger, or that he or she won't cause trouble to anybody else.

3. Remove aggressive dogs immediately

In case your dog becomes aggressive for whatever reason, the first thing that you should do is to remove him or her from the situation. If you allow your dog to stay, fights could occur.

4. Talk to other owners

Before you or your dog approaches another dog, it is best to talk to that dog's owner first. Find out if the dog is friendly towards other dogs and humans, and if it is OK for you to approach them.

5. Know your dog's signals

You should know your dog better than anyone else. Look out for signs that say that he or she is scared or angry. This will allow you to prevent any unwanted feelings and situations for your dog.

Social petiquette isn't an option - it is a must. Make sure that you know the proper ways and apply them always, not only in our upcoming event but also in every other time where you take your dog to places with other dogs.
