Our Kenzie is a year and a half now and has developed into a well socialized and VERY friendly dog. She will bark when someone knocks at the door, then literally fall over and wriggle with happiness as soon as whomever it is comes in the house. In public, she feels that she needs to say hello to anyone that makes eye contact with her... tail immediately starts wagging and its lick lick lick. Ive never stopped/corrected her in the past because i WANT her to be friendly and understand that humans always out-rank her.
I am nothing but pleased that I can really trust her with just about anyone (although it is clear that she prefers to be with me, we are strongly bonded)
Have i let it go too far? How can i teach her that not ALL people are to be trusted and that she should read my verbal and non-verbal cues about a person?
