This is very good advice ☺️ some dogs, like mine, doesn’t really enjoy being touched by people he doesn’t know. So, I always say no, unless his body language says different. But people get mad. Is ok, advocating for my dog is more important.
not if you're famous! If you're famous you can just grab pussy cats whenever you want. I heard it from twice president of the united states, you guys wouldn't elect a liar, especiallly twice, I'm sure
My cousin taught this,I witnessed her 2yr old ask if she could pet a dog when we out for walk. I was surprised and proud, many adults can't even do that.
Not by doing something patently silly like asking a dog whether it wants to be touched. If the kid has half a brain, he'll wonder why the idiot grown up is expecting a response from a dog.
I usually ask twice- once for permission from the owner, once for permission from the animal. I have had times where the owner said yes, but the animal said no. I've also had two incidents where the animals gave the owner no choice. They wanted pets.
I get this as a matter of teaching to ask, but obviously the animal can't respond, so how do you include teaching about accepting and understanding answers? Because at face value this may just lead to teaching that the question is more important than whatever the response is.

Otherwise dad better be familiar and adept at reading canine body language because asking isn’t going to get you anywhere.
Then ask: it that your dog?
