How to react when you are attacked by a dog !

Every day, we run the risk of encountering stray dogs on the street. Some of these dogs sometimes can display unpredictable behavior and be extremely aggressive and hostile. This creates an obvious and direct threat to human life.
we at ‘’ All You Need ‘’ have collected the information and the best techniques on how to keep yourself safe and to prevent dog bites.
01 - Don't Panic !
It is firmly believed that dogs feel human fear. However, you can hardly keep quiet when an aggressive dog growls and barks. If you scream, shake your arms or run away, you can trigger the dog's prey instinct and cause it to attack.
02 - Slow your run to a walk !
If you encounter a dog during your run, slow down to a walk. Turn and walk in the opposite direction of the dog, but keep looking at it from the corner of your eye. And if you stand completely still with your arms stretched along the sides of your body, the dog will lose interest in you.
03 - Don't make eye contact with the dog !
Watching a dog in the eye can be interpreted as a threat and it will cause it to attack. Direct eye contact can intensify a dog's aggressive behavior. Keep the dog in sight, but avoid direct eye contact with it. This signals the dog that you are not a threat, and it will probably turn away and go.
04 - Distract the dog with another object !
In fact, any object at hand can be useful. Give him something to chew, like your glove, a bottle or something else. This can distract the dog for a while and give you time to escape.
05 - Command the dog to * back away * !
Avoid direct eye contact with the eyes. If the dog continues to behave aggressively, order him to leave. Make sure to use a strong and confident voice. The most effective commands are "No" and "Back away" with a firm tone. The dog will be frightened and will leave.
