NEVER LOOK THEM IN THE EYE


It’s true; you should never look a dog, especially a big dog, in the eye.  It’s a sign of aggression and the dog will not back down.

Pit bulls have been known to make grown men turn around and walk the other way.  That’s certainly been my experience with Biggs.

Older gentlemen, young men, teens, tots.  Many have taken a look at this gentle giant and fled in retreat.  Can’t blame them, but there is nothing to fear.

The rules are simple when you see a Big Dog coming towards you:

1)      If you are scared, cross the street.
2)      Do not, repeat do not look a dog in the eyes.
3)      Do not run by, behind or in front of any dog, especially a big one.  They don’t know you are playing and may think they are being attacked.
4)      Walk slowly and with no sudden, jerky movements.

If you follow these simple rules, the dog won’t even notice you, and that’s a good thing.
