Dog Etiquette in Public Places Some Owners Get Wrong
from Chat with Dr. Kat · host Dr. Kat Derrig-Palumbo
You love your dog. The problem is, not everyone around you does — and figuring out how to navigate that gap without feeling like you have to choose between your dog and basic social harmony is genuinely tricky.Dr. Kat walks through the real situations where dog owners — even well-meaning ones — tend to get it wrong: restaurants, grocery stores, neighborhood walks, dog parks, having guests over, and the question of cleaning up properly (yes, including the pee on the pillar). She's not anti-dog — far from it — but she makes a case for reading the room on your dog's behalf, knowing when your dog isn't ready for a particular environment, and understanding that the people around you have legitimate feelings too. If you've ever been the dog owner in an awkward moment, or the person quietly uncomfortable with someone else's, this one is worth your time.I want to hear from you!
