How to stop a dog from attacking me

Angry dog

This is a very asked question especially by people who have ever had a bad experience with these animals: how to prevent a dog from attacking me. Well, you have to start from the basis that these animals are always going to try to avoid conflict, and that there is always a reason why they behave violently.

This does not mean that they turn them into aggressive dogs, because they do not think "I am going to attack that person or animal tomorrow because they have done this or that to me", no. They do not have that reasoning capacity. They live now, and do not think about tomorrow. So that, How to avoid being bitten?

The answer is simpler than it sounds: avoiding conflict. Yes, I know, with these words I'm not telling you anything, but that's the way it is. If we treat them with respect, with patience and with affection, it will be very difficult, practically impossible for them to attack us or our children or nephews if we have. In this sense, I would like to add something: the little ones have a tendency to grab their tails, grab them by the ears and that kind of thing. Well, any of these behaviors can make the dog angry. For this reason, it is necessary to explain to the little ones that the animal must be treated with respect.

One of the things that should not be done is to yell or hit him, if you do, the most likely thing is that he will either become a fearful dog, or that on the contrary he decides to attack. In the event that a dog approaches us that is visibly tense, that is to say, that stares at us, and barks at us, we will not look you directly in the eye, but we will not run away either; we will just stand there and pretend to look at something else.

Dog lying

Aggressive dogs as such do not exist. Behind the aggression hides fear, insecurity or even pain. If your dog has been behaving in a strange way for a short time, do not hesitate to take him to the vet to find out if he feels any kind of discomfort.

    It's amazing how you don't say anything in the whole article. Everything you say is a bunch of incredible truisms. In addition to containing spelling mistakes. Recommending that they take a dog with behavioral problems to the vet, it is as if your child goes through a time when he is more aggressive and you take him to a family doctor instead of a therapist. A good piece of advice, let's go ...

      Hello Manuel.
      When an animal, be it a dog, a cat or whatever, is in a lot of pain, it can attack, sometimes even for no "apparent reason." Although it is an animal that has always behaved well.
      A greeting.
