Earlier this year I attended an excellent 2-day seminar facilitated by Dr. Sophia Yin, an internationally-acclaimed veterinarian/animal behaviorist. It was organized by 5-Star Dog Training and held at Thompson Rivers University. Dr. Yin offers many free resources to educate vets, other dog handlers, and the general public about how to greet and interact with dogs. With so many dogs around Lac Le Jeune, I thought I would share this illustrated poster on how to greet a dog. You'll probably recognize several scenes in the what-not-to-do column. I think the most common misconception is that you should reach your hand out for the dog to sniff.
