Snobbery in all things...

I was told dog owners are the most friendliest group of people.
Wrong...
I've met aggressive people, quirky people. And the worst the snobs.
I see a lot of women look at Bruno, I sense its the nurturing nature of us.
But there's a certain class of woman that looks at him then me and you see their face change.
I have been watching various dogs behaviour to see what they're like when greeting Bruno.
I'm no expert but I notice the most friendly natured ones lay down just like Bruno does to say "hey I'm friendly and you're giving off a good vibe".
Now I don't know if its because very few people know his breed but the greyhound owners more often than not are quite snobby.

I also see that in people that have these pretty dogs like pomeranians and toy terriers dogs.

Bruno is big for his breed but smaller than a staff but as big as a teen spaniel.
He seems bigger because he has tall hind legs.
He's been called a boxer, French bulldog, pug mix everything other than his breed.

Although I struggle with him on a pet vs human level, he has absolutely no problem with other dogs.

One thing I've noticed the few pet pawrents that have said their dog is aggressive or bark actually calm down in the presence of Bruno.
And this has nothing to do with me and my training.
Because he is always desperate to play.
But if I can engage them in conversation I try to whilst keeping the dogs apart.
Some are happy to talk perhaps because they're upset their dog isn't friendly whilst others give a wide birth.

One key thing I've learned is socialisation is key for dogs.

I suppose this is like when you have parents at the school gates you'll have different types and theirs a slight competitive nature to it all.
I hope I always find the level headed grounded kind people...

This is such a learning experience.
