While we want to be every dogs’
friend there are certain ways to
safely go about approaching
your new furry friend.
Recently Animal Emergency Service ran a booth at New
Farm Park, giving first-time animal owners free vet
advice and answering pet questions. One of the most
repeated questions that was asked on the day was,
“How do I greet a dog?” Questions ranged from, “If I
smile, does the dog think that I am baring my teeth?” to
“Is it wrong for children to hug stranger’s dogs?”
You must ALWAYS ask the dogs
owner. There are many dogs that
are totally fine with their owners,
yet when presented with a
stranger, can react in extremely
different ways. By asking the
owner you have a generalised idea
of the dog’s behaviour (and have
the opportunity to make a new
doggy best friend!).
With any animal (or person) with
anxiety, the worst thing anyone can
do is to rush the situation. By
running up to an animal, you are
immediately putting them on the
defense and they can potentially
view you as a predator or become
frightened. By approaching them
slowly you are giving them time to
assess the situation, respond to you
and react accordingly if they are
uncomfortable.
By crouching down to the level of
the pet you are putting yourself in
an equal situation to the dog. By
patting a dog while, you are in a
dominating position and
controlling. By getting down to
their level, it tells the dog that you
are not a threat and open to
interaction.
By waiting for the dog to approach you
the meeting is 100% on his/her terms. If
they’re not feeling it, they have the
opportunity and chance to remove
themselves from the situation. By
allowing them to smell you, assess you
and decide if they wish to be friends, you
are more inclined to have success. It is
to be noted that even if the dog is
sniffing, you must refrain from patting the
dog if it looks scared or nervous.
