Hi all, I am excited to have a job interview on Sunday at a local place that does dog daycare, walking adventures and training. Though I would just be doing daycare for now. I am confident with dogs but I do feel a little shy when meeting people because I am a bit of a recluse, and I have never really handled meeting a group of other people's dogs. I am a little worried I might say or do the wrong thing inadvertently, though I'm not even sure what I would do wrong. Like I am not going to yell or something, but if they just start barking at me and the employer doesn't hire me because "dogs can just tell" or something like that. Can I get some pointers on best ways to meet groups of other people's dogs? Sort of the same way I am uncomfortable around people's kids- I am always scared if I don't smile right or say the right thing, I'll get yelled at? If that makes sense. I do love dogs and I put a lot of time into reading about dog behavior and psychology, grew up with dogs, but in social settings I am a little stunted and worried. My immediate thought would be to just ignore them for the most part until we all calm down, then do a calm greeting to dogs that come to me.
