I came across this post during the week from the Aggressive Dog Facebook Page - a Page with 1876 Likes, so not exactly a huge following:
'The magical hand'
Sometimes well meaning people reach out with their hand to "make friends" with a dog. The idea is that if the dog can sniff their hand, the dog will eventually like that person.
This is also a great way to get bitten by some dogs. A reaching hand can be perceived as a threat and some dogs have learned that biting makes that hand go away very quickly!
A better option is to allow the dog to come to you if they are interested in sniffing, and simply ignore them until they give you indications that they are seeking an affiliative interaction.
Of course, if you are not sure about the dog's body language, OR there is a history of biting, OR you don't need to handle the dog at all, it is best to keep on walking by!
Remembering that although the Page has only 1876 'Likes'.. this post received 569 reactions; 48 comments and 826 shares (and growing!). The Page has many similar types of posts, all of which seems to get pretty good comments, reactions & shares.
So what similar types of information could you share ?
