Re: Dog People of F!S

[siofrabunnies]

Echoing not feeding other people's pets. Especially with beef jerky, as it often is seasoned with onion, which is very harmful to dogs. And every dog will respond differently to being fed a treat, but it's rarely going to get quiet. If you want to make friends/acquaintances with a dog, talk to the owner. The owner being there will make the dog more calm and receptive, and the owner will know how his dog responds. That presupposes a good owner, but most are.

If there are nicer, but still loud, dogs, and the owner is alright with it, petting is far better at getting an animal to like you. Get down on your knees (so you don't look so big), let it sniff you, and let the dog take the lead in contact.

Dogs bark for several reasons. Sometimes it means "get the hell off my lawn", but it's normally just saying "Hey! There's someone there! I see you!", so most dogs won't actually be threatened/threatening unless you provoke it. Bad owners, of course, make the dog easy to provoke.

If a dog is growling at you, walk calmly but quickly away. Don't run. Don't change your pace unless you were going really slow. You don't want to raise it's chasing instincts, but you also want to show it that you're leaving it's territory.

I'm going to second an anon's advice and tell you to read up on dog body language so you can better recognize which dogs feel threatened, which one's just look alert, etc. It'll give you some surety and you can make better decisions in how to respond.
