A ittle pudgy bulldog came flopping down the stairs of this apartment complex I was in today. He was trying to be gruff but I confused him by talking to him like we were old buds. He looked back at his owner like "Who is this guy? Do I know this guy??"
@Adam_Cadmon1 I try to tell people to talk like that when their dogs haven't decided if someone is safe or unsafe. The tone of voice is everything. Someone getting stern and correcting their dog is showing that dog that they're worked up, too. If they're worked up, then there is something to be worked up about -- the dog'll decide on "unsafe". They always look to their person for their reaction to the stranger.
