- Never try to break up a fight between two animals even if one is your own.
- Never tease a dog, or do anything that may hurt it.
- Never take away a dog's food or bone, or pull a toy from his mouth.
- Never disturb a dog that's sleeping or eating.
- Never approach a dog that's with her puppies.
- Stay away from a dog that has been tied up and left alone in a public place.
- Always keep your face away from dogs.
- Never run away from a dog that scares you. Instead,stand like a tree by making your hands into fists and placing them under your chin. Stand still, do not speak to the dog, and look at the ground. Never stare into the dog's eyes. Doing these things will show the dog that you are not a threat.

Meeting a Dog
- Always ask the owner's permission to pet the dog first.
- If the owner gives you permission to pet the dog, let the dog sniff your hand, being sure not to place your hand in its face.
- Pet the dog gently under the chin. Do not pet the dog on its head, as not all dogs like to be touched on the top of their heads.
