If You are Threatened by a Dog what should you do?
- Stand very still and remain calm. Never scream or run.
- Do not turn your back on the dog.
- Always know where the dog is without staring directly in its eyes.
- If you say anything to the dog, speak calmly and firmly.
- If the dog approaches to sniff you, let it. Most of the time the dog will leave you alone when it realizes that you are not a threat.
- Stay still until the dog leaves. When it does, back away slowly.
- If a dog does attack, keep something between you and the dog. “Feed” it your jacket, purse, bike, or anything that will distract it and prevent it from biting you.
- If a dog knocks you down, curl into a ball with your arms over your face, head and neck. Try not to scream or move.
