My dogs are not allowed to greet without permission, regardless of whether it’s dogs or people. But I also want my dogs to wait before chasing something or checking out something interesting. That can be even harder than waiting to greet for some dogs.

A situation we encountered recently brought to mind how very important this can be. We were staying at a cabin in the mountains for a few days. I was taking Zuzu out to potty one evening and we were about to step off the deck. I am very fortunate that Zuzu is cautious by nature, so she hesitated before I even saw what was there. Once I did spot it, I told her to Wait. Right off the deck was a porcupine. He was completely unfazed by our presence and not in any hurry to move.

Had Zuzu been more impulsive, and if I had not spotted it shortly after she did, we could have had a very painful evening ahead. As it turned out, we now have a story to tell that has a happy ending!

If your dog spotted an unfamiliar creature, what would s/he do?

Something caught Zuzu’s interest. . .

Fortunately, our close encounter with a porcupine ended well for everyone!


Our goal is to positively impact the lives of as many dogs and their families as we can, in part through our extensive library of video, infographics and text articles.
