Protect Your Canine From Four Legged Bullies

One of the scariest moments a pet owner can have
is while taking their dog for a walk on a leash
other larger and mean looking dogs approach. It
would be nice if everyone kept their dogs on a
leash or in a fence, but this of course is not
the case. Too many times when walking your dog
down the street other dogs may be loose and
approach out of interest or with bad intentions
in mind.

Of course if your dog is very small, you simply
need to pick the dog up if these larger meter
dogs approach. In most cases the approaching
dogs will not continue to think of attack or
even instigate aggressive behavior when she
picked the animal up. But if taking the dog up
is not an option because you are older or the
dog is too large, you must understand what to do
in these situations in order to keep both you and
your animal safe.

I'll tell you a story about a time I was walking
my dog into very large dogs approached. In fact,
they didn't just approach, they came running at
us in full attack mode. I had only seconds to
think about what to do. My dog was a large
female German Shepherd and of course I was not
able to pick her up. But what idea was simply
grab her caller, as she was acting aggressive
also towards the coming dogs, and I stepped
between her and the approaching to dogs. At the
same moment, I stood very tall and strong and
pointed my finger at the dogs and get a very
loud and firm no command.

Believe it or not, the to dogs stopped in their
tracks about 20 feet away. Of course there were
still growling and agitated and it was a very
scary situation as my dog was also very angry
acting. Fortunately, the owner came running to
get the dogs with some leashes in hand. She was
able to control the dogs from that point and
allow us to walk on.

I guess the most important thing that idea it
was to not panic and to be very assertive
towards the approaching animals. Had we tried to
run or move away or act frightened anyway, I feel
very certain the situation could perhaps have
been deadly to my female dog. These dogs were
large and big bodied in size and acted very
aggressive. I have no doubt there would've been
a fight and of course two on one would not have
turned out well for my female canine.

We never want to expect the worst, but when
you're a walking your dog always think about
what you would do should something like this
happen to you. Again, I can't emphasize enough
how important it is to remain calm and to be
very strong acting towards the approaching dogs.
And one last thing, should there be a dogfight,
it will be all but impossible for you to break
it up. More than likely you will simply end up
getting hurt if you attempt to do this by
yourself. In most cases, one of the dogs will
submit at some point in the fight will be over.
