Seems like you have to let the dog come to you. Walking up to a dog to pet it is a sign of agression. If it doesn't come to you, then it doesn't want attention.
My farm dog is a big 'ol chocolate lab. When a strange vehicle drives in he puts on an athoritative show with a deep commanding bark. The occupants don't know if they should get out or not. When they do get out he stands there and barks. No more than a minute later he's comes up to them and pushes on their hand with his big wet nose, wanting attention, and then he won't quit. The visitor ends up walking around with his/her hands in the air to avoid the cold nose.
The other day when I was test driving a pickup I drove into the yard after dark, and the dog was putting on his usual show of athority to the strange vehicle. When I got out I immediately lunged toward him. He took off like a whipped pup, so I chased him around the pickup. He was growling and running with his tail between his legs. When I finally spoke to him he came to me half crawling on his belly. So much for the mean watch dog huh!! Jim

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
