Sometimes, people are loners, and that’s ok. We don’t expect
that we all have to always socialize and get along with everyone all the time,
and we shouldn’t expect it of our dogs, either.
You might have noticed that your dog doesn’t always seem to
get along with other dogs, and you aren’t sure why. There could be a variety of
reasons for this:
- The other dog’s scent (think how hard it can be
to be around another human who maybe doesn’t smell so nice)
- You dog was attacked before by another dog
- Your dog is protecting you from the other dog
- Your dog doesn’t want you to pay attention to
another dog
- Your dog’s temperament (yes, just like humans,
there are introverted dogs)
- Your
dog’s breed (was it bred to be protective and ward off other animals?)
- Your dog just likes
humans better.
Regardless of the reason, there is no need to try to change
who your dog is. We have Adventure
Playcare so your pet has one-on-one attention with staff. Your dog does not
have to be dog-friendly—just human-friendly. Let us know their personality and
what they like, so that instead of leaving them home when you travel, they can
come visit us. Being able to have activity time while you are away can make any
dog happier and healthier. Don’t worry; your dog will still be excited to see
you when you return.
