Nowadays, the issue of stray animals is more pressing, and the likelihood of encountering such animals on the street has significantly increased. If you come across aggressive animals, it is important to know how to behave correctly to avoid unpleasant consequences.

1. First and foremost, never attempt to flee from an aggressive animal. Such behavior will only provoke the animal to aggression.

Second, call for assistance. If people start approaching you, the aggressive dog or pack will likely avoid attacking.

3. If there is a tree or building nearby, it’s better to take shelter there.

4. If you frequently encounter packs of dogs, carry pepper spray and use it if necessary.

5. Try loudly giving commands like “stop,” “no,” or “leave it.” Some dogs may recognize these commands and stop their aggressive behavior.

6. If you have an umbrella, open it suddenly; this may scare the dogs, and they might run away.

7. You can also spray a strong-smelling substance in the direction of the animals, which could repel them.

8. Most importantly, don’t be afraid and remain confident. Dogs can sense a person’s fear!
