Watch how you pet a dog

  • Always let the dog see you first.
  • Let the dog come to you on his own terms.
  • Make a fist and hold your hand out towards the dog’s nose so he can sniff your hand.
  • Talk to the dog in a normal voice. Do not yell or scream.
  • If the dog seems comfortable with you, gently pet the dog in the back (not on the head - that’s too close to the mouth, which contains those sharp teeth!)
