Re: Dog People of F!S

[herpymcderp]

Dog behaviour is really not hard to read. Learning to recognize behavioural cues will make you a lot more confident about which animals to avoid.

If you have a stiff tail (often pointed upward), ears pointed straight forward and up like they're perked, and the dog is barking in a low, loud, steady cadence those are signals of aggression. Those are dogs you want to give a wide berth to because they're basically saying "stay out of my yard or I'll fight you".

If you have ears flat back to the head, a tail that is held low or between the legs, baring teeth and a higher pitched and more frantic bark that dog is a scared dog. You don't have to be worried about this one running out to bite you, but the message is still to stay away.

If the dog's ears are held at a medium relaxed position with the tail at a medium level (and possibly wagging) and the barking sounds rapid or especially high-pitched with yips thrown in, that's just a curious/excited dog responding to a newcomer to its environment.

The good news is in almost all of these cases the barking will stop after the dogs see you ride by a few times and realize you're not trying to enter the yard. Some especially territorial animals might continue to make your presence known to the neighbourhood, but just continuing your routine should make most of the barking stop eventually.

I especially suggest looking up tail and ear charts for dog emotions. Even a cursory look on google images should turn up a few good resources.
