Be aware of the following points when coming into contact with strange dogs:
When a dog approaches you, it is not you who approaches the dog
Remember, because you want to become the leader of the dog clan , and as a leader, you do not approach your subordinates, but your subordinates should take the initiative to approach the leader.
So, no matter how cute this dog is and how much you like it, you have to control this emotion. Don't be tempted to rush over to pet it and say hello. This is also a principle in the dog world, and you need to respect this principle.
Let the dog smell you well
I have said before that dogs rely on their sense of smell to detect the world first, so in fact, normal dogs will be interested in your smell. It's time to let him come and smell you, which is very important when you first meet.
If you go to a friend's house, you should first deliberately ignore the dog, and then wait for the dog to take the initiative to sniff you, so that the dog will behave better. This is actually a kind of etiquette between the two creatures. Many people rush to the dog as soon as they meet, take the initiative to say hello, pet it, etc. Because the dog is not familiar with you, this will make the dog nervous, afraid, shy, avoidant, and even aggressive.
Before you go to "explore" the dog, please let the dog "explore" you first. In this way, you can give the dog a buffer time, which will help to promote respect and trust between you. relation.
Three basic principles: no touching, no verbal communication, no eye contact
The dog sniffs you with its nose and becomes familiar with your smell, your aura, and your energy. This tends to last anywhere from a few seconds to a minute.
Remember, your touch, or words, or eye contact are all "encouraging" the dog's current behavior, especially for those owners who have not yet trained their dogs to receive guests. Your indifference is to express your status and give the dog time to get familiar with and understand you.
When the dog completes the process of understanding you, it will give you a signal
Whether it wants to attack you, run away, ignore you, or respect you Show goodwill. The last one is the best performance. It may come to rub you. This is the time for you to stroke it and release your love.
Don’t chase and pet dogs that avoid you. This is rude behavior
