Preventing Dog AttacksThe first, and most important, rule for preventing dog attacks is: Never go near a strange dog. Other rules that, if followed, can help prevent being attacked by a dog are: Do not approach dogs that are leashed, chained, fenced, or in a car. Always let a dog smell you and see you before petting them. Never turn and run from a dog, especially if it is threatening you. Dogs naturally chase and catch their "prey". Do not disturb a dog while they're sleeping, eating, chewing on a toy, or caring for their young. Always keep in mind that a dog who doesn't know you may see you as an intruder or as a threat. If you are bitten or attacked by a dog, take steps to minimize the damages. As soon as possible, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and warm water and then call your regular doctor for additional information on how to treat your wounds. If your wounds are serious enough, go directly to your local emergency room. As soon as your injuries have been attended to, report the attack to your local animal control agency or police department. Keeping Your Children Protected From Dog Attacks:Since children are most often the victims of dog attacks, teach your children the essential rules above, especially to avoid all strange dogs. Also, teach your children not to tease, chase or throw things at dogs behind fences or gates. In the event of an attack, teach your children to protect their face and neck and to roll into a ball, be very still and as soon as it is safe, find an adult to help them.
