-
Keep a safe distance between yourself and dogs being walked on a leash.
-
Ask the owner's permission before approaching a dog,
on a leash or in a yard
-
Never approach a dog that is barking, snarling, sleeping, eating,
chewing on a toy or caring for puppies.
-
Do not stare the dog in the eyes.
-
Do not run away from the dog. Turn sideways and slowly withdraw.
You can't outrun the dog, not even an Olympic sprinter could!
-
Put an object such as a tree, post or bench between you and the dog.
-
Speak softly and gently to calm the dog, "Good dog, it's ok, go home."
-
Stand still or maintain a constant slow pace out of the dog's territory.
-
If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with
your hands over your ears and remain motionless.
Try not to scream or roll around.
