Have you ever met the stray dog? Whether you happened to be afraid when a huge shepherd dog rushes on you? Do you know what to do to the dog not touched you? There are clear rules of behavior when meeting with a single dog or a pack. Knowledge of them — considerable power. We learn not to be afraid.
Dog protection
Take a look at the world in terms of a dog.
In the dog world who is stronger, that's right. And the main determinant of weakness — fear. If you are afraid, you are for dogs — victim and you need to attack. Therefore, the first rule of protection against dog attack — courage. Rather, no fear. The dog clearly recognizes your fear: it feels the production of hormones, notes a change in your movements, sees the expansion of pupils and feels an increased sweating.
You need to understand: if you are waiting for an appearance when meeting with a dog, and in fact, your heart in your heels will not work: the dog is likely to attack. So learn to overcome fear. Confidence — The most important means of protection against dogs.
Suppose you coped with fear. What to do to protect against the attack of dogs in the form of concrete actions worked for sure?
The dog has a strong sense of territorial affiliation. There is a territory that she considers him and will defend, attacking anyone who will invade it. For stray dog it is usually — a wasteland on which she lives. There is a neutral territory on which the dog will carefully monitor your behavior. If it seems to her that you encroach on its territory, she will warn it: they will drive away the lament and the growl. In someone else's territory, a dog, if it is healthy physically and mentally, will not attack, it is unsafe for her.
Therefore, if you understand that you got to a neutral territory, your task, looking at the dog in the eyes, slowly retreat back, beyond the boundaries «Note» zones (this is about 10–30 meters from the border of the dog territory). If you manage to do it, the dog will lose interest to you.
If the dog is barking, it means that it is not going to attack yet, she just scares and warns.
The dog, which on its territory is preparing for an immediate attack, will press the ears to the head, dropped down the head down, and slowly steps to move in your direction. In this situation, it is impossible:
- Turn to the dog's back.
- Run away.
- Shout.
If you see ready-to-attack the dog, lean towards the ground and try to raise a stone, stick or what will fall, not having a straight sight from the eye. For the dog, it will mean that you are not a victim, but an opponent. Even if she does not surrender, this behavior will lead it into confusion, and you will have an extra time for the retreat (yes, you continue to save slowly). If you have naught under your feet «weapon», throw him into the dog: there is a chance that she will decide not to get involved. Do not stop watching the dog in the eyes.
As soon as you got to the place where you can hide (ideally — fence), try to escape so that never for a second to turn to the dog back. She in any case faster: will catch you in a few moments and attacks.
If the dog attacked, she, most likely, will bite you for my feet. Dishwar away from it with all ways, trying to get on the back and head. Do not believe those who say you need to beat the dog on the nose. You are unlikely to get. So just defend yourself.
Dog's defense
Meeting from the steam — It is much more dangerous than meeting with a single dog. The methods of protection here are the same: Having reveaning the leader (usually the largest dog standing in front of everyone in the middle), see him right in the eyes and retreat. Do not let other dogs yourself behind your back. But the guarantees that the attack will not be, alas, no. You can only hope for luck. So it is better to avoid all the places where there may be stray dog flocks.
Cyclist protection from dogs
The dog (and even a flock) is unlikely to attack the riding cyclist, most likely, the case will limit himself to the leg and pursuit. Here the rule is the same: do not be afraid. If you endured and stopped, retreat under the bike cover, it will serve as a good shield. Cyclist protection from dogs — Freight and bike.
Unfortunately, none of the technical means of protection usually works. Ultrasound dischargers, gas cans, pistols and other acts unpredictably and can even more reset the already aggressive PSA.
Our advice to you: Avoid places where there may be stray dogs. Estrants, abandoned buildings, landfills — Incorrect territories for Sundays, if you are expensive health and life. And learn not to be afraid.
