KPRC 2 stopped by the Houston Humane Society to find out what someone should do if they see an aggressive dog coming their way. We spoke with Behavior Enrichment Manager Kymee Bair.
“Generally, when you see a dog coming your way, you want to scan your environment. Look for things maybe you can get behind like a car or trashcan, or a nearby building,” said Bair.
It includes a pet corrector spray. It’s a can of compressed air that is sprayed to startle an aggressive dog. Bair said an airhorn can also help. Bair said a bite stick can help break up a dog attack. A good at home tool is an umbrella. Bair said opening the umbrella can scare off a dog.Knowing “how to read a dog” is beneficial to know if a dog is in attack mode.
It may be tempting, but Bair suggests not approaching a stray or unknown dog, even if it has a collar.
