  • Yes, there are dos and don'ts for petting your own dog and dogs you meet on the street. Trainer Mikkel Becker explains what kinds of strokes are likely to soothe, aggravate or even potentially alarm a dog.

    Good stuff. I'd like to add that when petting, instead of petting in a manner that pulls on the dog, pet in a manner that pushes on the dog. Pulling on the dog, even inadvertently, can catch a dog off-guard. Dogs also tend to have an oppositional reflex to physical force. If you push, the dog won't feel threatened and will often push against your petting (an oppositional reflex), which happily brings the dog closer to you.
    Having a dog approach you of it's own accord instead of forcing it in closer is much more comfortable for it.

    Thank you! I see so much dog patting and I feel sorry for the dogs. I've thought, that can't feel good. I thought that to a dog, it can't feel like affection, but like little hits. Glad you're telling people that dogs don't like pats, and glad that you're telling people what dogs actually do like. I've found that some dogs enjoy their chests scratched. My grandmother had a St Bernard who LOOOVED her chest scratched! Shed sit up with her front paws on me somehow (resting on my bent forearms, or resting on my tummy), and she'd let me go to town giving her long scratches up and down her chest. Boy oh boy, she loved it! I'd do it only if she indicated she wanted it. My mom would teach us, "Gently, gently" when it came to dog petting. She wouldn't pet dogs unless they came to her, and taught us to wait as well. Always listen to you mom, lol. :)

    My brother's pit mix, who I'm playing and training everyday for 5-7 hours while he's at work, gets a firm, two handed slow massage where I move the skin on his sides up and down. He sits on my foot as I do this, and I will stop after a minute to ensure he wants it or is just tolerating it. As soon as I stop he will spin around and whimper, and then sit right back down on my foot and I'll repeat for a few minutes. He also tells me when he wants his hind legs massaged by coming up and turning away, with his rear facing me. He will turn his head as I do this and attempt to lick my face, so I'll lean in and let him get my neck, as I don't want his tongue on my face. If I stop after a minute, the same thing happens- whimper, spin towards me to get my attention, followed by a reposition to continue the hind leg massage. When he really is in doggie heaven, he will lean forward at a sharp angle. If I stop, whimper, spin, get my eye contact, reposition. If I just scratch him lightly, he will tolerate shortly, walk away, then return presenting the part of his body he wants massaged, not scratched. Yet I can't find any videos where dog trainers or vets talk about this technique and these two areas. Am I dog sitting a rare bird??

    A dog will let you pet its head, but only if they know and trust you. They're not enjoying the head petting, they're just tolerating it because you're the boss. Try the shoulders or back, and of course gently and slowly, calmly. They'll enjoy that a lot more. :) Kitties, now they enjoy head petting, 'specially big cheek rubs!
