There are a number of organisations out there who promote awareness of the fact that some dogs need their own space without being approached and we would like to join them in raising awareness of this issue. I'm sure like us, most of you fellow dog owners out there know a young child, perhaps even not so young, who loves to come up to your dogs and give them a cuddle (and treat them like dolls or teddies)... sometimes this can be A BIG 'NO, NO" and this is one of the most important things we need to teach children. Dogs do not naturally like being confined in an embrace - A CUDDLE IS NOT NATURAL BEHAVIOUR FOR A DOG.
