If you can read this, you can prevent the rest….
Most dog bites are preceded by subtle signals that go unnoticed.
In this clip, Riley shows a few VERY subtle signs:
• a slight nose reach followed by no forward movement
• stillness with no engagement or invitation
• repeated lip licking (a displacement/uncomfortable/stress signal)
• eye contact with me (social referencing/check-in)
These are low-level indicators of discomfort.
Riley remains soft because of her learning history and environment. She has a consistent pattern of her communication being respected, especially by my daughter. That predictability reduces the need for more intense signals.
Now some dogs can tolerate interaction in this state without reacting (some can’t, some won’t show it, some will be more forward- every dog is different) but continued pressure (approaching, reaching, petting) increases stress and can lead to escalation in the moment or over time.
Now notice that when the interaction stops & my daughter gives space, her body relaxes and she puts her head down, indicating a release of pressure & a relaxed state of mind.
Teach kids to recognize:
No movement toward you = no invitation
Subtle stress signals = disengage
Intervening (& TEACHING) prevents the need for louder communication later. And if this helps even one parent recognize that, it helps one child stay safe.🤍

It’s hard go hear, but I ask my daughter “what did those lip licks tell you?” She said, “no.”
Then I replayed the video and showed her when Riley put her nose forward then didn’t engage, explaining that means no too…Every chance I get to teach my kid more awareness & understanding with dogs that will keep her safe, I take.

🚨 Do you understand what Iran just did..
they didn't go after a military base or a warship.. they put out a hit list of 18 American companies.. Nvidia.. Apple.. Microsoft.. Google.. Tesla.. Meta.. Boeing.. JP Morgan.. starting April 1st..
Iran just threatened the stock market..
those 18 companies represent over $15 trillion in market cap.. more than the GDP of every country on earth except the US and China..
Iran just figured out something that nobody in Washington wants to admit.. you don't need to beat America's military.. you just need to scare its investors.. one cyberattack on Nvidia's supply chain and the entire AI industry goes dark.. one hit on Boeing and every airline in the world is grounded for weeks..
in 2020 Iranian hackers breached dozens of US companies and government agencies.. in 2022 they hit Albania so hard the entire government went offline for days.. a NATO country.. taken down by Iran's cyber unit..
and now they're telling you exactly who's next.. with a date.. April 1st..
the scariest part is the companies on this list have more power over your daily life than the government that's supposed to protect them.. and there's no missile defence system for a zero-day exploit.
BREAKING : Trump is mentally finished, all his ego is destroyed and pride is washed away
THIS IS PEAK CINEMA 🍿🔥
🇺🇸 Trump: "I want Poland to send their Patriot missile batteries to Middle East"
🇵🇱 Poland : "Our patriot batteries are used to protect Polish skies and NATO’s eastern flank we have no plans use them or relocate them for other purposes" 🫡
Every other country is showing spine now
@CDV_CEO@EdChristina1@DailyMail Yes it does, the very first sentence in the article says that’s not true. They, like you, are foreigners pushing division to weaken America.
@CDV_CEO@visegrad24 I quote you: “leave nato. France, Spain and UK are no longer our allies”
Who’s allies? What are you talking about? You talk like Nigeria is in NATO😂🤡
BREAKING:
Israel ends all defense deals with France
The Israeli Ministry of Defense has suspended all defense procurement from France and terminated existing contracts.
This decision follows Paris's refusal to allow U.S. aircraft carrying military supplies for Israel to transit French airspace.

BREAKING: Iran's IRGC issues a warning that they will target 18 US technology companies if the US continues "targeted assassinations" of Iranian leaders, beginning on April 1st.
The companies include Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, Intel, Oracle, IBM, Meta, Boeing, and others.
New headline reads "Just in! Bullet used to k*LL Charlie Kirk did NOT match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson, new court filing claims". A couple of hours later, the Sheriff who arranged for Tyler to turn himself in resigns from office duties.
Whether he's guilty or not, doesn't this raise suspicion considering the fact that this issue is controversial and also considering the timing of his resignation?
@EddieKi56351536@visegrad24 Everyone is allowed to have an opinion buddy! Besides.... Whatever America does literally affects the whole world. So a Nigerian giving an opinion proves nothing.
@CDV_CEO@visegrad24 This proves that the guy talking about our allies is responding from Nigeria where the app also happened to be downloaded from. Accidentallya country where all of a sudden tons of maga comments come from. Hey, but that’s just coincidence I suppose 😂🤷
BREAKING: 🇮🇱 🇫🇷 ALL ISRAELI DEFENCE DEALS WITH FRANCE HAVE BEEN TERMINATED
The Israeli Ministry of Defense has suspended ALL defense procurement from France and terminated existing contracts.
This comes after Paris's refusal to allow U.S. aircraft carrying military supplies for Israel to transit French airspace.
What a lovely development 😊
