If you're meeting a new dog, you might be wondering: How can I greet him 🤔?
After all, dogs, just like humans, like having their own personal space, and just like with people, you want to respect that 🙏.
Even if the dog is usually gentle and non-aggressive, it is your responsibility as the person in this equation to make sure you don't scare him, because, as you know, accidents are quick to happen 🤷.
This is why you have to make sure to greet a dog THE right way 👊.
