away, you can slowly and cautiously

back away from the dog. Keep facing

the dog but avoid turning your back

on it.

as possible. Avoid screaming or

making loud noises, as this can startle the dog further.

4. Stand still like a tree with your arms at your sides. Avoid making

sudden movements or running away, as this can trigger the dog's

chase instinct.5. Do not make direct eye contact with the dog, as some dogs may

interpret this as a threat or challenge.

6. Shouting or yelling can agitate the dog further. Speak softly and

calmly if you need to communicate with others nearby.

approaching or petting a dog, especially if it's a dog they don't know.

your face and neck by keeping your hands and arms close to your

body.

with soap and warm water for at least fifteen minutes. This helps

reduce the risk of infection.

11. After the dog has moved away, find an adult you trust and inform

them about the situation. They can help you with any injuries and

report the incident: to the dog's owner or local authorities if

necessary.
