Some dogs - just like humans - are huggers, while other canines use body language to define their personal space aka “the invisible bubble of pressure”. It’s crucial to recognize. As dog agility enthusiasts know, moving towards or away from a dog causes them to move towards or away from you. That’s why chasing a runaway dog doesn’t work and greeting new dogs by jamming your fist in their face is a bad idea. Enjoy this snippet on safely meeting dogs and entering their personal space respectfully.
