Very interesting, Caryll - thank you.

Kuchar is a genuine people-loving dog, he'll greet anyone given the chance and often bounds right past the dog to greet the owner!

I hope I'm always careful when approaching new dogs, especially little ones or puppies, but I will remember this article and the "personal space" issue and be a bit more careful in future.

I know a lot of people can't see a problem with their friendly dog approaching strange dogs/people, but you don't know what is going on in the head of the other dog/person.

The other dog might be aggressive or fearful, or even under training. The other person might be scared of staffords/large dogs/bouncy dogs/ALL dogs!

I've had two reactive dogs now, and I can't begin to tell you how annoying it is when someone calls out "It's okay, he/she's friendly!" and a split second later my dog's doing his best 'jaws' impersonation.

But reactive dogs aside, some dogs (and people) do value their personal space!

Tristan is very good at telling people not to invade his space - I wouldn't get close to him when he's snarling, baring his teeth and foaming at the mouth - it doesn't need to get that far sad
