It's interesting, I find it's the kids who ask permission to pat Byron, but the adults do it regardless. Even if he is wearing his vest, some adults will gravitate to him to pet him. Though some parents are great, when we are working on our "search" (we're training for tracking and finding various things), parents will say he is a working dog, so no one can bother him when he's working. Some people avoid us because I tell him "Search!" and he starts sniffing around, if he finds something off (like tobacco), he alerts me and people seem to see that as a drug sniffer dog, lol.

But anyways, I got off topic, I will be saying no more often. I know I personally always ask to approach a dog, I see too many people assume that animals are a free for all and can do as they please.
