There is a daily risk of encountering stray dogs on the street. Some behave unfriendly and then a danger arises. These are the recommendations of experts and dog trainers on how to protect yourself and prevent animal bites.

What to do if a dog attacks you:

Try to stay calm.

Dogs, like some other animals, really feel human fear. Of course, it is quite difficult to calm down if you are faced with an aggressive dog. To begin with, you should stop shouting, waving your arms and trying to escape. Such actions will betray your fear and nervousness, and the dog will receive a direct signal to attack.

 

Slow down.

If a dog crosses your path while you are running, immediately slow down. Slowly turn to the other side and continue moving slowly, following the dog with your peripheral vision. It would also be appropriate to stop, remain still, and relax your arms at your sides. This will avoid the animal’s attention.

 

Do not look the animal in the eye.

Direct eye contact with the dog can increase its aggression. The animal perceives such a sight as a threat and therefore will attack first. The dog should stay in your field of vision, looking at it from the side. Then it will realize that you are not a threat and will most likely just walk past you.

 

Distract the dog.

In such a situation, anything that is at hand will help. Give your dog your shoe, bottle, or backpack – anything that he can bite into. While the animal is busy, you can slowly move away, avoiding the consequences.

Give the animal a command.

If the dog continues to show aggression, turn to face him, continuing to look slightly to the side, and give him the command to move away. It is important that your voice at this point be confident and authoritative, but in no case threatening or screaming.

 

Effective commands are: “No!” and “Back!” – spoken in a safe intonation. Once the dog hears them, it will sense your strength, become scared and back away.
