The proper way to Stop a Dog Bite
The best way to Forestall a Dog Bite
Whether a dog is defensive or assertive, he could be prone to bite if he feels threatened or attacked. Understanding each of the behavioral cues listed above will make it easily manageable a situation if a dog is snarling and showing signs that it may bite.
According to the Humane Society, the very worst thing that you can do when faced with a defensive or aggressive dog is to turn your back and ran away.1
This again plays into the inbuilt instinct of a dog to chase you, catch you, and bite you. Another quite obvious tip to stop a dog bite is to never annoy a dog when it is eating, sleeping, gnawing on a toy, or caring for puppies.
If a dog has shown assertive behaviour cues, you need to use the following tips to prevent an attack:
Don't scream or run away.
Keep your hands at your sides, stay still, and avoid eye contact.
Allow the dog to lose interest.
Slowly back away from the dog.
If the dog lunges to bite, throw a jacket, bag, bicycle, or another object in his course.
If you are knocked to the ground, curl into the fetal position, place your hands over your ears, and stay still. Try and react as little as attainable.
If your dog is showing evidence of aggression, the best thing you can do to stop him from biting or attacking is to socialize him. Find a coach that works perfectly with aggressive dogs so as to slowly condition your dog to accept new dogs and strangers.
Additionally, if your dog has not been spayed or fixed, this will seriously reduce aggression and make it simpler to socialize your dog in new situations. A routine procedure like fixing will make your dog less certain to fight with other dogs and bite strangers.
