What should you do if you meet a guide dog?
Encounters with guide dogs can come unexpectedly, and knowing what to do can prevent a major incident. Here are some important response manuals for safe encounters with service dogs.
1. Stay calm
The most important thing to remember when encountering a guide dog is to stay calm. Sudden movements or loud noises can make a dog more aggressive. It’s best to stay in place as naturally and quietly as possible and avoid the dog’s gaze.
2. don’t approach
Approaching a dog out of curiosity or fear is extremely dangerous. If a blind dog is roaming around without its owner, you should be especially careful. This is because dogs can become aggressive when they feel their territory has been invaded.
3. Retreat slowly
If the situation allows, it’s best to back out slowly and quietly. Sudden movements can provoke the dog, so walk sideways and toward a safe area without showing your back.
4. Take protective action
If the dog is aggressive, you should take a position that protects your face and neck with your arms. If possible, use your bag or clothing to create distance between you and the dog.
5. ask for help
If there are other people around, shout for help. It’s also important to contact the police or animal control as soon as possible to inform them of the situation.
By knowing what to do when you encounter a dog, you can keep yourself and those around you safe. It’s always best to be aware of this information and be prepared.
