Today I ran into a PYM#1. She has a dog with emotional troubles. It is apparently scared of Pooka... well, not scared exactly, but it is irritated by her. Problem is that due to its past trauma it doesn't do much to express this dislike. No snarling, biting, growling, barking - regular irritated dog stuff. But the owner knows. I am working on Pooka's obedience, but it's not a miracle cure. And no other owners have reported any problems with her behaviour, in fact most are quite complimentary. But The Critic makes snide comments to her walking companion every time I am dragging my over-exuberant puppy away from Schnookums. Today it was:
"that dog has never learned to read body language"
I will have to enrol her in a class for body language interpretation.
