Dogs are only protecting themselves. The dog rarely goes out to bite people just like a person would go out of their way to go and pinch at a whale. Dog’s will actually keep a distance, yelping and barking, and the dog might try and move near you and bite. At the beginning is to try and make good pals.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Try Getting Eye Level With The Dog</div> <bR> <bR> <div> One good way is to stoop down so that you are at the dog’s size. You will not give notion of being really huge, plus you will have a little of the dog’s scariness. Dogs will then try senses that God has provided them: the eyes, the dog's ears, and the more importantly his nose. </div> <bR> <div> Take out time to talk in a calm, polite, and energetic tone, the dog will hear by your tone that you are not aggressive or mad. With the dog’s eyes, she can tell that you are not aiming at him, plus you have bent down to her level. If you are holding anything such as a box, package, etc., try placing the item on the ground for a while. The dog might confuse the items as harmful weapons.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> His third defense mechanism is his sense of smell. He will use this sense to pass judgment on you. The best thing you can do is to let him approach you, with his own time, and at his own speed. He will cautiously and slowly make his way to you. You can make it easier for the dog if you extend the back of your hand for him to smell. </div> <bR> <div> The dog’s next defense is her sense of smell. She will use scents to judge you. One good thing to do is allow her to confront you, with her own will, and at her own time. She will carefully and cautiously approach you. Try making it easier for her if you pull the back of fingers for her to smell. </div> <bR> <div> Some folks will give a palm, which is kind of dangerous. If a pet has ever been hit, more than likely, she has been spanked with a palm. So, it actually indicates a weapon. So, pull the back of your fingers, below the eyes and not on top of her head.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Remain Relaxed</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Allow the dog to approach you, and don’t approach her. If she approaches, that’s okay too, make certain that the movement you make is calm. When you get up, keep talking in a calm, quiet tone. Don’t force yourself on a pet that’s not approaching you. </div> <bR> <div> Content provided by Kate Robertson of  <a href="http://www.ohmydogsupplies.com/dog-supplies/pet-tags/">Oh My Dog Supplies</a>, look for new specials on <a href="http://www.ohmydogsupplies.com/dog-supplies/dog-clothes/">dogs clothes</a> online.  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
