When Dogs Attack: How to Avoid Being Bitten. [Notes on The Psychology of Aggressive Confrontation] KS: Interesting article as I have found a similar approach to be effective in dealing with aggressive and violent people. (Notes courtesy of Caesars Way - Dog Training) If you are confronted by an aggressive dog, the most important thing to remember is this: Stay calm. Don’t give in to fear or anxiety... An aggressive dog wants you to be stressed out before it attacks, but if you remain calm and in control, it slows them down and throws them off... Stand slightly sideways (which also makes you a narrower target) while keeping the dog in your peripheral vision. Once you have successfully used calm assertive energy to keep that dog back, claim your own space... Maintain your very calm and assertive state; this energy creates a barrier that automatically demands the dog’s respect by letting it know that you are not afraid. [Caesars Way - Dog Training]
