| answered a question | Why does my dog shiver? Dogs shiver mostly when they are anxious or feel excited! I had a dog who didn't like the pup we set up on a play date, and he started shivering like crazy. When I separated them, the shivering eventually stopped. Also, they tend to shiver when they're cold, so weather is a definite factor. |
| answered a question | How do you reject strangers who want to handle your dog? You don't want to be rude, so try to let them as casually/sweetly as possible. Explain that your dog (or you) don't like unwanted touch, because you're training them, or because your dog is sensitive, etc. Be nice, but firm!. Sometimes you can just pull away and walk away to send a nonverbal signal that you don't want your dog to be touched, too. |
