Tips On Avoiding Dog Bites

? Don’t run past a dog. The dog’s natural instinct is to chase and catch prey.

? If a dog is threatening, don’t scream. Avoid eye contact and try to remain motionless until the dog leaves, then back away slowly until the dog is out of sight.

? Don’t approach a strange dog, especially one that’s tied up or confined.

? Before petting dogs, always let a dog see and sniff you before petting.

? If you believe a dog is about to attack, try to place something between yourself and the dog, such as a backpack or a bicycle.
