There are many people who don't own dogs, and when they see dogs, they will panic. Parents can't quite understand why such cute dogs are afraid. Most people who are afraid of dogs will say that they were bitten by dogs in their childhood, resulting in shadows. In fact, many dogs bite because people don't understand the social rules of dogs.

Most dogs don't bite, but those who have no training or little contact with humans may bite. Dog is an animal with a strong sense of territory. When a dog thinks that a stranger has entered its territory, it will warn or even attack humans for the purpose of maintaining its own territory.

Most dogs warn before biting. When the dog raises its back hair, spreads its limbs, stomps on the ground vigorously, wags its tail slightly, and raises its head and barks upward, then you need to be careful. This is a warning to you. If you continue to approach it, the dog will issue a more severe warning. When the dog flips its tail, bares its teeth, growls and sticks its ears to the rear, this is the final warning, and it is about to attack.

How to get out of this dangerous situation in time? You'd better pretend as if nothing has happened and slowly pull the distance away, but in the process, you'd better prevent the dog from looking directly into the eyes. For dogs, eye contact is a provocation to them; Besides, don't run because of panic, because doing so will stimulate the hunting nature of the dog and make it chase after you.

Sometimes, your dog may nibble at you with his teeth when playing with you. This kind of behavior needs to be stopped immediately. You should train your dog from an early age not to bite with your teeth even when playing with you, so as to prevent it from developing a bad habit of biting in the future.
