If you see a dog off-leash: - ✔✔1) Don't run as this will create more
arousal or aggression. Stand still and then walk away slowly
2) Yell "SIT" or "GO HOME"
OR for more persistent dogs
1) Take massive amounts of smelly treats with you and throw those at
the dog while you move away
2) Take an umbrella with you to scare/distract the dog when it opens
3) Purchase spray shield animal deterrent in the severe case of needing
to break up a dog fight
, If two dogs get into a fight: - ✔✔1) If your dog is small, pick them up
(be careful to protect yourself)
2) If your dog is large, drop the leash.
How to Break Up a Dog Fight: - ✔✔1) Make a loud noise (yell, stomp
feet, bang something together)
2) Push something in between the dogs (chairs, play equipment)
3) Throw something over the dogs (bedding, towels, a jacket) to
disorient them
4) Use Spray Shield (citronella-based spray) if the fight continues for
longer than a few seconds
*water? A bowl of water or a water bottle will likely not be enough to
stop a dog fight. A hose or a large bucket of water may be helpful but is
not usually available.
