So what should you do when you encounter a lost dog or your own lost dog? •Sit down. •Turn your body so your back or side is to the dog. •Keep your eyes averted and bow your head so as to look non-threatening. •Toss tasty treats (hot dogs, chicken, smelly cheese, etc.) behind you or to the side of you. •Don’t talk. •Wait patiently for the dog to approach you. Don’t make any sudden movements, but continue to toss treats. •Don’t grab the dog when they get close, but wait patiently and build trust. •Speak softly, but if they back away, stop talking and just continue to toss treats until they trust you enough to come closer.
