If you are a dog owner, you have probably encountered this situation: strangers on the street asked you if they could pet your pet.
Each owner makes his own decision, although he does not know whether it is the right one.
Is it okay to let strangers pet your dog?
Experts note that everything depends on the character and psychological characteristics of your pet. Some dogs really enjoy this social interaction.
As a rule, we are talking about friendly animals, tuned to people. They like to spend time with any people who show interest in them. But not all dogs have such features.
In most cases, a positive decision on this issue will be premature.
Many dogs do not like contact with strangers. They begin to feel vulnerable and defenseless.
Therefore, when making a decision, always rely on the psychological characteristics of your pet.
