A case for basic trianing
It seems like every time a stranger approaches me while I'm out training my dogs, they make some comment along the lines of "yeah, well my mutt is just a pet, he doesn't need all that fancy stuff." ...

met another couple walking their dog from the opposite direction. When they saw my cute fluffy little doggy, they dropped their leash(!) and allowed their dog to come zooming up on us. EEEK! Who does that??
It happens for too often. Consider tying a yellow ribbon on your dog's leash. It won't deter idiots who have no clue, but it is a symbol of Dogs In Need of Space.
Thanks. I'll do that. And thanks for that poster. I never thought I'd own an unfriendly dog, and Tiki is really a lovely dog--at home, with people he trusts. We love him to pieces, in spite of his issues. And he seems to really be happy to be with us. I find that I don't mind the training. I believe that with patience he'll eventually turn into a nice doggy--but prolly not a laid-back, everybody's my friend kinda dog.
