I wish i had seen this video earlier before the bite :)
Oof 😅
This comment 🤣
Right
L
😭
didn't grow up with or around dogs. most my friends didn't ahve one so i am completely clueless as to how to interact with dogs. now i understand why the dogs i try to pet growl at me. i'm doing everything wrong!! thank you
People need to show this to their kids. I hate taking my dog out and having people tell their kids to come up to my dog without asking me first.
I know !! It’s extremely annoying!
I would of been mad asf....
But there just kids and humans🌞
Diemeng i’ma kid and I always ask if they say no then it’s okay but I don’t do it that much
Yesss! Everytime I see a dog, I always ask the owner if I can pet him and if he agrees I further go on by asking if he bites
You must be a really thoughtful owner. Many owners don't realise how intimidating dogs can be. As someone who has now beaten severe cynophobia, I wish I'd learned this stuff sooner! I didn't even know that dogs just sniff to say hello. They're actually being polite!! Nice video! 🙂
How did you overcome cynophobia,i wish i knew🤐
I want nothing to do with dogs and just want them to ignore me and leave me alone. Dogs who jump up, lick you stick their noses in yr crutch! Sickening space invaders. And ones who bark and carry on like they want to rip your head off when you just walk past! Paranoid psychos. This vid sadly gave no advice on how to get them to ignore me. Assumed one actually wants to meet a dog. And. good lord, how nuts would someone be to lean over or put their face or hand down at a dog's mouth level! UGH. But useful to know not to make eye contact with them, a good start to avoid any contact with them. But the advice here is just to let it come to me. No thanks.
@@newgabe09 I sympathise, as I used to feel much the same. Probably worse, actually, because I was severely phobic for years. I'm now a happy dog-owner, and I do try to be considerate of others around us, who may not like dogs at all. 🙂
@@rachelm7525 Happy you're happy :) And glad you're not the sort of dog person who things it's the moral high ground to like them. But I don't ever want the smell or stress of owning one.
Thank you so much I spent the last hour or two looking up dog videos. I’m overcoming my fear of dogs and now I understand why they always would jump on me. This has been the most helpful video on UA-cam I’m going to try this out
I dont mean to be a dog but I'd jump all over you too! Look at you!

i made the mistake of #2 with a pitbull about 10 years back. Still have the scar on my upper lip from where he nipped me. It shook me a little, but the dog was not aggressive. He just wanted me to be out of his face. "I don't know you, get out of mah space hooman!"
Glad to Hear that You were not affected.
Dude •__•
I bent down slightly while petting my neighbours border collie which actually came and approached me off the lead tail wagging and it lunged and bit me in the face, caught me just below my eye and on my lip, had to go get antibiotics. I've alwyas been a dog lover so it really shook me up. Glad I found this video. I volunteered to walk rescue dogs at my local shelter but I keep overthinking it after the bite
Oh gosh I never knew all these positions were 'threatening" to the dog. Thank you for sharing and taking your time to do so.
I petted a dog once, 10 years ago. Tomorrow will be the second time, wish me luck
@Felipe Gomes he didn't respond so I can't imagine well..
DID YOU DIE!!!!?????
I didn’t see the comments, it was okay, the dog was really friendly, although I could’ve done a better job
thank you, i learned a lot from the video. i was approaching a client's dog who was selectively friendly to people she approaches. I will try your techniques next time i meet her dog.
spearlight knight are you dead by now?
It seems like it friend
Rip
🎶 Every single daaay, every time I praay, I’ll be miss-ing yooouu 🎵 🙏 🪦
I always let dogs sniff by hand first
I always do that if i meet new dogs too and if they sniff my hand i slowly try to pet them and then i always do that every time i meet them then they got used to it and they start to welcome me with wagging tails 😊
Shin Asagiri that’s so nice
Hold out the back of your hand to let them sniff. The front of your hand feels more threatening to them because they know you could grab at them.
This is so helpful thanks. Will know what to do next time we find stray dogs again!
So glad I found this video! Thank you! The examples are perfect!
Omg thank you so much more people need to understand this. I cant even tell you how many people incorrectly approaches my dog and he doesnt like it
This is a really good explanation. Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for posting
Well done and thank you for creating this video! Everyone should know how to approach a dog, overall children. It would avoid many misunderstandings.
Thank you for sharing the information

Its not your fault. Its the dog owner
Everyone should watch this video, and especially share it with people who don’t know dogs very well, who maybe did not grow up with dogs, or who don’t have any common sense.
Great video!
Great video and well explained!! thank you :)
This is helpful thank you 😀
Thank you so much! I needed to know this my friend has a dog who is suspicious of me and I found it very helpful.
Thank you for this video!😎
thanks for the tips it worked with my friends pit bull 👍
abdelali StayLot shut up
great video. thanks for the info. beautiful dog you have there.
thank you so much for this video, this should be shown to every dog owner
Good video, but you should never go down on your knees, if you need to get up suddenly it's difficult. You should always stay on your feet.
No for small dogs you need to get near their level exactly like he mentioned. Listen to the video :))
Agreed! Just bend through the knees with your feet still on the floor
I will definitely show this to my friends before they come to my house and make my swiss shepherd nervous. He's jumped on everyone that approached him the wrong way 😂
Beeblebrox One he WAS trained. But not enough because as a PUPPY he had several PAINS in his PAWS and COULDN'T be trained ENOUGH. Same thing with walking and socializing. He's only one year old, there's still time to training. Pls don't speak without knowing. Thank you.
It's your dog. You can't control people's action. Rather train your dog's reaction. I suggest watching it's me or the dog
Everybody goes straight in for the head rub.
Thnaks, highly interresting
Your dog is like: what's happening ,man?
Friggin Awesome!!!!!
This video was so helpful ty! When I was younger my best friends dog bit me. I think it’s because I made direct eye contact and then pointed and I think it confused the dog and he thought it was a threat. I was scared for a little while but in the past years I’ve been around so many dog trainers and dog lovers so I’ve been opening back up and I just wanna understand. Thanks again
I have this problem with people, when I go out with my dog, (many times a day) she is an anxious dog, she's had a difficult past and we have been loving her for almost 10 weeks now. So, I don't have time to educate everybody I meet. And it gets me upset sometimes how stupid and ignorant people are. It never happened to me once to have kids runing towards the dog. Most of the time people ask permission to let their kids pet and I decline because we don't even pet her. We let her decide when she is ready. But adults react in the most stupid way! I had a guy shouting agressively to his kids because they wanted to come meet me and the dog. I paused, and I genlty told the kids '' this is a scared dog, she is not used to be pet and we need to leave her alone'' They understood right away and replied that their dong was not like that to witch I replied ''that's great'' In reality I saw the mom pull the leash to the dog and make hime turn around as he was growling...haha. So I was trying to go trhough because they sort of invaded the space, and as I did that, the guy started to act like '' oh my god, look at this dog pulling..'' She was trying to run away from him. So I turned aroud and told him: ''I don't see how shouting madly at your kids and the dogs is making this situation better!'' i also had people forcing her to stay close to them to let her know its ok by pulling the leash and make her go to a state of freeezing. My brother in law did that. I always refuse to people the right to do that, but some guys just go ahead and get quikly into motion. People would say they are ignorant. I would say they are stupid and lile to impose themself to others.
Mini R. No one cares lolll
Very good tips as I am not a dog person and a shy dog avoids me. I usually try to pet them on the head. I will now use your method. thanks!
Thanks.
I’m going to see my cousins dog today! And this helps because they said he was big so thank you!
I'm afraid of dogs NOW.. Just today I made a terrifying experience while I was jogging in the park, the dog wasn't on the leash, he ran to me, barking and showing his teeth, he didn't bite me but I was so scared that I started crying. The owner said that he usually doesn't do that, well he just did it so put him on the leash!!!! Lots of owners don't have idea wat it means like being afraid of dogs (especially when they're not on the leash). Someone should teach them how to get their dogs ready to meet strangers (or at least to walk by) without being aggressive!! It's just horrifying!!!!
Exactly I totally agree.
I've been afraid of dogs from a young age... eeesh
Looks good. This is what I would do.
Very helpful video, but where can I find the PDF file you talk about @ 9:48?
Treat a dog like you’d treat a person. You wouldn’t run up on a stranger and start touching them. Back off and let them come to you.
hothotheat3000 you have no idea how some ppl with low home training behave lolllll
Im sighing listening to you the whole time..
You some straight to the point..
Little kids love to pet my big dogs. What is the appropriate way for children of the same height as the dog to approach my dog?
You mentioned a pdf, is it the ebook or a separate link?
I am going to an adoption meet and greet this Saturday and I am really excited. Are there any other good tips about meeting a new dog? I really appreciate any help 😃
Did you end up getting the dog? I hope everything worked out. I’m meeting a shelter pup today. I already have a dog and we need a friend💕

BrightDog Academy Dog Training I have a question so my dog is really protective and keeps barking at my friend. My friend is letting my dog sniff him but keeps barking. Can I please get some advice
I have to babysit for my boss. The problem is she took in a dog who was gonna be put to sleep because of aggression. (He attacked their other dog) And he won’t even approach me when I have my hands out. He just barks and growls. I wish she would just muzzle him or put him in a room or somthing but she wants him to get used to me. Any tips? I even tried treats he just doesn’t care
beautiful back yard.
You show how to approach a dog but you don't show the best way to actually start petting them...
SMERSH009X you’ll know when you can pet them :) let them sniff you and get to know you. When the dog licks or wags their tail, it’s a good sign you can pet them. As said in the video, don’t reach over his head to pet or it will feel threatened/defensive. I normally go from the side and pet the ear or pet the back. Don’t do it rough. The main thing when you’re petting another dog is to look for signals of uncomfortableness! Such as when a dog freezes, starts panting but his tongue is in his mouth (anxious), tucks tail, etc. Hope this helps :)
@@VikingSingers You could also start by lightly scratching or rubbing under the chin. :)
I laught to my friend so afraid to other dogs but in my case i know all the stray and pet dogs in our neighboor hood i greet them by petting them if they come up on me wagging their tails their so cute 😂😍😍
My girlfriend family has a dog i never been around dogs and I am really annoyed of the big dog and don’t know how to deal with it so thanks for help
What do I do after this? Do I just act normally as he isn't there? That's usually what I do and they just go away but I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Ur dogs cute 🐕
how to i approach a big aggressive dog who charges at you i assume its impossible
there must be a way nobody seems to have ideas smh
Ф.и.ф. Ргојест taser him then you'll have the chance.
Koala Mama the dog stalks me like a lion would do when it hunts prey..😢
Meal still no answers ;/
While walking my dog, a man wanted to approach my dog and he held out his hand. My dog did not come to him. We saw the man on and off for several weeks during our walks and the man did the same thing.However, today when the man held out his hand , the dog did not respond, the man started to walk away, the dog snapped at the man's pant leg? Is this because the dog thought the man was in the dog's personal space? Is this because the movement of the man so close to to the dog threatened the dog? Why do you think this happened? What can we so that man can pet the dog?
i am actually concerned should i get a dog or not !? though i think i would be taking good care of the dog but i am not much sure about it
you can volunteer at a local animal shelter for few months and learn how to deal with animals and if you still want to adopt,do so:) all the best!
Dog: Yo, don't try that shit with me!!!!!!! Get outta my face!!!!
When my daughter came over to my house to stay for a few days, we asked her to walk the dog on a leash and everything seemed ok. Then, one day when my daughter and I were sitting on the couch talking, the dog came into the room, sniffed me and then walked over to my daughter sniffed her and attacked her. I noticed the same behavior when my husband, my uncle, and my nephew were standing and talking in our house. The dog came over sniffed my husband, then sniffed my uncle whom the dog knew already, and then sniffed my nephew and attacked my nephew. What do you think caused this behavior and how can we prevent it so that my daughter and nephew can come over and visit?
How do you avoid eye contact? Where do you look?
I usually just calmly say hi and look toward the ground next to their body, or down at my hand as they approach and sniff.
is eye contact good for self defense?
Gitonga Mwaniki. You will not win. It’s good if the dog is submissive and your giving them discipline but only hold the stare for a few seconds then drop it
Probably not. Fear aggression is really common in dogs. Intimidating them just increases the chances that they’ll bite you.
I am not even concerned by this video still i am watching it
I have a friend that has a small black dog... He hates me. Whenever I walk into her house he barks and goes crazy. I'm pretty sure its the eye contact. I'll try to be more safer around him.
Can you look your own dog in the eyes?
👍👍👍👍
ignoring the dog is best
dog trainers and rehabbers make it clear.... follow their advice: leave another person's dog alone. It's not your dog and you do not need to pet it. You don't handle another person's child or handgun, right ? the dog may be fearful and you will not even be aware of it. Do what professionals tell us : leave another person's dog alone. Problem solved !
Doug H. in VA shut up
The better thing to do is ask the owner if you can say "hi" to their dog. Most dog owners love their dog and love hearing how beautiful/wonderful their dog is. I always liked having my boxer meet people because she was so happy to make new friends. She especially liked kids. The tips in this video don't just apply to approaching strangers' dogs. They also apply to going to someone's home who has a dog.
Doug H. in VA, exactly. I cannot take my reactive dog in public anymore. Too many people approach him and nothing helps. He cannot cope correctly due to lack of socialisation and if people come close or bring their dogs over to interact he will try to lunge at them which I will end up getting a bad reputation for. So therefor PLEASE!!! Do not approach dogs without asking from a distance. I can’t even wear a red caution vest because people come close to check what it says.
And if you really want to pet them PLEASE AS THE OWNER FIRSTTTTTT(unless the dog approaches you. My dog is very friendly and he sometimes approaches people so I don’t mind when they pet him)
Only Americans would compare a dog to a gun. Jesus
If you greet a Rotti that you don't know in that manner ... well ...
Clicked for the Kooikerhondje in the thumbnail 💖
Looks like your looking at him
If the dog runs in your direction what do you do?
I'm not an expert but this happens to me sometimes. If it's at a distance, I go inside. If I can't go inside, I ignore it like it's not a big deal and go about my business. Often it leaves me alone. If it comes up to me, I calmly stop and do the non-threatening stance shown in this video and use an upbeat, calm, gentle tone to say hello and tell the dog a few times what a good dog it is, how it's nice to meet it, and just let it sniff me without trying to pet it. And then either it walks away or I calmly amble away. So far that has worked every time. Fingers crossed it continues to!
Im scared of dogs and my family betrayed me and got a dog instead sooo here i am
Is it okay to Blink at a dog like you do with a cat?
Maybe you don’t notice it but you keep repeating yourself at least 3 times.
My friend's Japanese Spitz attacks me everyday 😂😂😂
That's not funny. You are putting that dog at risk
I would not stand and put my p.. open my hands front of a dog hahaha 😂 screw it am not dogs friend
I don't own a dog.I would like to friends with dogs.
why would you lean over a dog you dont know
One of the most common things I see everyday.
Ceasar says no talk, no touch, no eye contact
This is stupid. How about holding these lame dog owners accountable for the reason their dogs react violently to everyday people
Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection:
Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15.
"letting the dog come to me !? "no way🤕🤕🤕
Non-Southerner: This video is awesome! I learned so much!
Southerner: You forgot to squat down to make yourself more approachable, also dogs are like humans blah blah blah you need atleast 6 dogs and 30 guns to make your home secure. I'm disliking this video because of your Yankee accent and because you didn't include a pack of wild dogs which you tamed.
Good information but boring as hell. Almost dozed off lol
