• If you feel threatened by a dog, do not run. A dog's instinct may be to give chase. Stay calm. If you speak, talk in a firm voice without screaming.
• Never interfere with a dog that is caring for its puppies.
• Never startle a dog by waking it up or throwing an object in its direction.
• Never disturb a dog while it is eating or drinking.
• Be very mindful of your children around all dogs, including family pets. Unfortunately, most dog bite victims are children.
• If you think a dog may attack, remain motionless with hands at your sides. Once the dog loses interest in you, slowly back away until the dog is out of sight.
• If a dog does attack, put a jacket, purse, bicycle, or any other large object between yourself and the dog.
• If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your ears and remain motionless. Do not scream or roll around.
