10 Problems That Only 'Problem' Dog Owners Will Understand

7. The Fear You Feel When A Stranger Pets Your Dog

Terrified Gif If you've ever had a someone approach you while out on walkies, lean in towards your dog and ask "Can I pet her/him?", and you respond with: "Errrmm... well, he's not always great with strangers", you'll known the fear that comes when said person decides it will be okay, and goes ahead anyway. Will your dog be fine, will it actually come to the conclusion that it doesn't like this person and proceed to bite their hand off, should you just turn around and run away? These are all questions that run round your head at this point. Of course, if you have a dog that absolutely hates everyone but you, then you don't have to worry, as people are unlikely to approach you anyway. Problem solved.
