You never really know how to react to a dog who is growling or showing the fangs in the street. Here is the attitude to have by canine experts.
Crossing a dog, however cute as it is, requires increased caution, especially if you walk with children. Whether it is a small canine or a larger one, it is not the size that counts, nor the race. It is always necessary to stay at a distance, and not to pet it. Sometimes, with the author’s authorization, the small doggies are glad to be approached, but we never really know their reaction. And if they are fearful, even aggressive, whether they growl or show the fangs, “Above all, you shouldn’t run or shout“Warn cannon experts.
Indeed, dogs perceive human fear, and this is what generally triggers their aggressiveness. So what is the best reaction to have in such a situation? Above all, it is essential to remain calm. “Keep your composure, avoid sudden gestures and take a deep breath” so as to reduce risks. Besides, if you come across a dog while you are running, slow down immediately. Stop for a moment and place your arms along your body, then turn slightly in the opposite direction, while keeping the dog in your field of vision. Experts warn: Better not to challenge an animal by looking it directly in the eyes: “The slightest visual contact can be interpreted as a challenge” reports the net court in a video published on Tiktok.
Finally, if the dog is about to attack or bite you, take what you have on hand: “A bag, a bottle or a shoe can then become your best protection” by offering it an object to grab its attention for a few seconds, time to be able to go calmly. If he continues to be threatening, a simple word can make the difference. Contact him with a “no!” Farm, confident and authoritarian or simply “back!” By perceiving your authority, there is a good chance that the dog stops itself, especially if it receives this type of order from its master.
Adopting the right reflexes in the face of an unknown dog can not only avoid a bite, but also reassure the children who accompany you. To prevent this type of situation, teach your loved ones to recognize the discomfort signals in animals (grunts, steep posture, lying down ears) and never reaching out without authorization. In a ride, prefer the released paths, and if you know that a district is frequented by free dogs, anticipate while keeping a serene and vigilant attitude. Better to prevent than cure.
