The Easiest Way To Stop A Dog Bite
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011The best way to Stop a Dog Bite
Whether a dog is defensive or assertive, he may be prone to bite if he feels threatened or attacked. Understanding both of the behavioral cues noted above will make it easily manageable a situation if a dog is snarling and showing signs that it may bite.
According to the Compassionate Society, the most terrible thing that you can do when faced with a defensive or aggressive dog is to turn your back and ran away.1
This again plays into the natural instinct of a dog to follow you, catch you, and bite you. Another fairly obvious tip to stop a dog bite is to never annoy a dog when it is eating, sleeping, gnawing on a toy, or caring for puppies.
If a dog has shown assertive behaviour cues, you need to use the following tips to prevent an attack:
Don't scream or run away.
Keep your hands at your sides, stay still, and avoid eye contact.
Allow the dog to lose interest.
Slowly back away from the dog.
If the dog lunges to bite, throw a jacket, bag, cycle, or another object in his path.
If you are knocked to the ground, curl into the fetal position, place your hands over your ears, and stay still. Try to react as little as possible.
If your dog is showing evidence of aggression, the nicest thing you can do to prevent him from biting or attacking is to socialize him. Find a tutor that works perfectly with aggressive dogs in order to slowly condition your dog to accept new dogs and strangers.
In addition, if your dog has not been spayed or spayed, this will significantly reduce aggression and make it easier to socialise your dog in new eventualities. A routine process like spaying will make your dog less sure to fight with other dogs and bite strangers.
