Space Bubbles

Sits & Wiggles, LLC: Oftentimes, while taking a stroll with your pup, passersby may touch your dog without permission. It seems that many people somehow believe that each & every canine on our earth is comfortable with each & every human. They also may believe that these dogs want to be touched by complete strangers.

If we consider our own preferences, the majority of us don't want random people touching us, especially without permission or warning. Dogs, just like people, HAVE THE RIGHT TO THEIR OWN SPACE BUBBLES. IF they get to know you, AND THEY LIKE YOU, THEY MAY CHOOSE to welcome you into their space. It is their choice whether or not to welcome you into their space, & at what time frame. Again, just like people, EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS UNIQUE & HAS THEIR OWN TIMELINE. THIS SHOULD NEVER BE FORCED. HONORING THE ANIMAL, THEIR CHOICES, PREFERENCES & TIMELINES IS A MATTER OF RESPECT AS WELL AS SAFETY FOR ALL INVOLVED.
