Think about it, when a dog walks on the road and suddenly hears a stranger yelling, and then the stranger leans over to touch it and hug it, won't the dog be startled? If people walk away Sudden such an attack on the road should also be frightened to death? And if the frightened dog makes a counterattack and bites, not only the bitten person will be injured, but the dog and the owner will also follow Unlucky to be punished, why is this really necessary? Therefore! Learn how to contact the dog the right way, not only to protect yourself, but also to protect the dog's very important concept!

1 , take it easy

Human nervousness can also infect dogs, so remember to relax and smile when greeting dogs!

2. Before saying hello to the dog, remember to say hello to the owner first

A good child will never touch other people's dogs casually! It is a basic courtesy to ask the owner's consent first!

Hello~ your dog is so cute! Can I pet it? In addition to making the owner feel respected, you can also confirm with the owner whether it is a dog or not. A dog that can be touched; after all, not every dog ??can accept the contact of strangers. If it is a timid or fierce dog, don't force it, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Saying hello to the owner first can also make the dog feel Ah! This person is the owner's friend, right? and have some good feelings for you!

3 , Stand sideways to let the dog see your side approaching the dog, don't walk in a straight line

After getting the owner's permission, don't walk toward the dog's front, but Go around the dog a little and approach the dog like a semi-circle. This detouring action seems to the dog to express I don't mean to attack!, and this behavior also occurs between dogs.

Then lower your posture and extend your hand slightly to let the dog take the initiative to smell your fingertips to confirm the smell. If standing makes the dog (especially small dogs) feel pressure, it is best to squat down and interact with the dog. The dog's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it can rely on the smell to determine the identity of others, and the dog smells your smell is actually saying hello to you! But don't suddenly put your hand in front of the dog and force it to smell, wait for the dog It's the right way to take the initiative.

4. Touch it and feed it some dog treats with the owner's permission

After successfully approaching the dog, you can touch it Neck, shoulders, chest and other parts, many dogs will like to be touched on their chest! While petting, you can chat with the owner at the same time, and if the owner has snacks, you can also ask if you can feed it ;And even if you happen to have dog treats on your body, don't feed it to a dog you don't know! Because you don't know if it is allergic to any ingredients, it's not good to cause the dog's trouble for a moment!

Owners who have a baby dog ??at home should often encounter someone who comes over and asks Can I touch it? 

First, you can instruct the dog to sit down and let the dog calm down first. If your dog is very close, it will basically not be a big problem; but if your dog is naturally timid and doesn't like strangers, for the sake of each other's safety, even if you are a little embarrassed, it is best to be polite Rejected!

Most of the time, children actually want to get close to dogs, but children are not very good at controlling themselves and often run over while yelling; therefore, many dogs are wary of children heart. In such a situation, the owner can stop the children's attack and explain to them: I'm sorry! The dog is afraid of being touched by strangers, otherwise I will feed it to you with snacks, okay?,  It's very timid, you have to give it a smell first so it won't be afraid of you!, Dogs don't like being patted from above, so they should be patted from the side like this!

While teaching children the correct concepts like this, it can also calm down the dog; in short, don't let the children approach the dog by themselves!

Although sometimes you encounter timid or unloved people It will be a little frustrating to be rejected when you have a dog, but it is also a manifestation of respecting and protecting the dog.
