Why are you touching your dog? It bites.

People who often deal with dogs have a certain understanding of dog behavior, so the possibility of being bitten by dogs is very small. Once, I took a photo of a group of people playing football with a dog with pet photographers Lao Qin and dog trainer Qin Tian. That dog is a very tall Rottweiler. It is very excited in the process of chasing the ball. When he got the ball, I stepped forward and grabbed it. The dog purred from his throat, and I stepped back gently.

At this time, Qin Tian, the dog trainer, also reminded me to be careful, because the dog met us for the first time, and grabbing the ball from its arms might irritate it. Although we had a good time before, it doesn't mean that it won't attack me if I continue to grab the ball after it gives a warning.

All this, including Rowena's warning and my avoidance, was seen by Lao Qin, who had been filming beside him. In this respect, Lao Qin is more cunning. He has photographed countless dogs, but he has rarely been bitten by them. In the words of Lao Qin, "dogs are not dangerous animals, because I can foresee their next actions." In contrast, I am more afraid of cats. "

Breaking into dog territory by mistake

Dogs will regard a piece of land as their own territory. Within their sphere of influence, strangers will be attacked if they break in at will. This is the dog's instinct. It is precisely because of this instinct that dogs are trained to be watchdogs, alert dogs and so on.

All dogs, big or small, have the instinct to protect their territory. When a stranger walks by the door, even a Chihuahua dog weighing only a few pounds will yell at the police, which is quite a gesture of fighting to the death with the invading enemy. In some countries, nailing a sign "There is a fierce dog in it" on the wall of the residence is definitely more reassuring to the owner than asking security guards, and thieves will not risk breaking into the territory of the fierce dog.

Offending the dog's "private property"

Bodie is a 9-year-old Beijing Ba dog. He has his favorite toy, which is a rubber banana that makes a sound when bitten. This is what he regards as a treasure, and no one is allowed to move. Everyone who comes to the host's house will be told not to tease Bodie with that banana, or he will be bitten.

Every dog has some "private property" of its own. These little toys, broken bones, are really insignificant to the human eye, but dogs attach great importance to them. It would be strange if someone moved and didn't get bitten.

Inadvertently causing dogs to chase.

Many parents always warn their children that dogs are dangerous, so run when you meet them, because they will bite you. When a child meets a dog, his parents' words will ring in his mind immediately. Therefore, even if the dog doesn't mean to attack and is friendly, the child will still be afraid and run away according to the instructions of the parents.

Dogs have a primitive instinct to chase prey, even pet dogs, and this instinct is buried in the dog's subconscious. It is a pleasure for dogs to drive things away. So the dog didn't mean to hurt the child, but when he saw the child run away, he would catch up. As you can imagine, an agile dog can easily catch up with an extremely frightened child. It is almost impossible for the child to escape at his own speed. Once the dog catches up, the dog will bite the child because of excessive excitement.

Take no precautions against neurotic dogs.

In this case, most people who are bitten by dogs love dogs. When they see the puppy, they can't walk, so they must touch and hug them. Generally speaking, dogs are friendly to people, especially purebred dogs with stable personality, but as the saying goes, "When the Woods are big, there are all kinds of birds." If you treat a dog with a defective personality like this, it is very dangerous.

People's vigilance against dogs is also flawed. It is generally believed that the bigger the dog, the more dangerous it is. It is true that the huge bodies of large dogs create a kind of pressure on people, but in fact, many large dogs, such as Saint Bernard, Great Dane and Newfoundland, are very friendly to people. On the contrary, some petite dogs are more aggressive, and their bodies are more likely to make people relax their vigilance, so they are attacked.

Tips for preventing biting: Don't show fear and flinch when you see a dog, and don't turn around and run away. A calm attitude will leave a good impression on dogs. When you visit the dog owner's house, you should pay attention to ask his dog if there are any taboos, and don't fiddle with his toys and food. When you meet a strange dog walking with its owner in the street, even if you like it again, don't touch it. Pay attention to keep a distance from strange dogs. Pay attention to the dog's behavior when you are in contact with it. If the dog makes a warning sound or makes an attack gesture, stop immediately and leave slowly.

In case of being bitten by a dog: if bitten by a dog, don't take it lightly, but don't panic. First, observe the wound. If there is no skin bleeding, the injury is not serious, and generally it can be cured without any treatment. If the wound breaks and bleeds, it should be washed repeatedly with soapy water in time, and at the same time, it should be treated at the hospital immediately and injected with rabies vaccine. As long as the treatment is timely, there will generally be no problems. Have you ever had such an experience? Pay attention to how the dog will react after seeing the dog, and protect it in time!
