About the poster
This is a visual guide for anyone interacting with “hyperactive,” “jumpy,” “mouthy,” or “scratchy” dogs who really want to interact with us, but don’t know how to ask for and receive affection and interaction in a way that we desire.
Interaction Guidelines are the first step of Constructional Affection. Constructional Affection is a training procedure that uses our affection, in the form of petting and gentle stroking, as a reinforcer to establish desirable social behaviors and interactions between people and their dogs. These guidelines set the foundation for building mutually enjoyable relationships with our precious dogs.
*Never use this guide with dogs showing signs of fear or aggression.
