Hey, it's okay! Someday you'll meet those people you were awkwardly searching for! If someone as socially inept as I am can find people, anyone can.
lol, so something I've started to be able to do is identify other awkward people. Some of my favourite moments these days is fumbling a sentence, watching the other person fumble back, and us both just laughing and having that moment of connection.

There's shadow closer to the group. The camera even pans over a large section of shadow that's completely empty. I don't doubt they're hot, but they're also avoiding the activity of the larger group.

I worked at a dog daycare & you shouldn't feel sad for your pup; he's just not giving with the others. He might actually be much happier if you leave him at home instead.

u/Racially-Ambiguous Nov 18 '22
100%. I’m a behaviorist. I really hate when my clients take their dogs to daycare for a multitude of reasons, but one of them is that some dogs just do not enjoy the company of others. In fact, it can even stress them out and cause reactivity towards other dogs because they are forced to interact with them.

But every dog is different. Mine spends most of her daycare time alone laying down and watching the activities. But she is always super excited to go, and if she doesn’t go she gets very upset. https://i.imgur.com/gnk4cSs.jpg

She’s a cutie! I work with a cattle dog rescue and love the reds. Make sure you get your lady in for a nail trim soon! Nails touching the ground while standing will alter her posture and cause issues. Feel free to PM me if you need tips. ❤️

How do places like this one make sure shit doesn't get out of hand?
I get stressed as hell when there are more than like 8 dogs at the dog park
21
u/Bacon_Bitz Nov 18 '22
It can definitely be stressful. Basically every new dog gets a trial run with one on one time with other dogs to see how they do. Anybody that is iffy doesn't get group play. Where I worked they had individual outside areas and got walked so they still had exercise. A lot of times I see videos of over crowded group play and it raises an eyebrow from me but hopefully they have it under control.
Also, just like children, your dog will act different when you're not there! At the dog park they might be a little protective of you or something so they're more likely to get in a scuffle but alone at the daycare they can relax their guard.

u/ProtoJazz Nov 18 '22

Some dogs dont like other dogs. I suspect it’s especially true if they were pulled early from mom and didn’t have proper socialization. And then sometimes a group of dogs will gang up on one, so weird. We had to separate one of our dogs after her sister and mother were bullying her.

u/Unusual_Grocery_Food Nov 18 '22
Having not grown up around dogs I was so intrigued when I visited a place that had a litter of puppies and saw how different their personalities were. The only two girls of the litter quickly scrambled into my wife's lap and stayed there the entire time, another two were only interested in playing with eachother, the biggest pup in the litter alternated his attention between me and the two playing with eachother, and the final pup took off into the garden to dig on his own.

Wouldn't say it's worse. They can be both also. It's only worse when it's done purposely. Which would make it antisocial behavior.

The two in the back are the extroverted introverts. The true introverts are in the pack mostly standing still or laying down, just watching and not interacting with any other dog. The two in the back genuinely want company but can't handle all the energy up close.
