Avoid contact with unfamiliar dogs: Do not approach or attempt to pet unfamiliar dogs, especially street dogs. If you see a dog on the street, give it plenty of space and avoid eye contact.
Be cautious when walking or jogging: If you are walking or jogging, be aware of your surroundings and watch for dogs. Carry a stick or other object to use as a deterrent if a dog approaches you.
Do not run away: If a dog does approach you, do not run away, as this can trigger the dog's natural instinct to chase. Instead, stand still and avoid eye contact with the dog.
Stay calm and quiet: Dogs can sense fear and panic, which can cause them to become more aggressive. Stay calm and avoid sudden movements or loud noises.
Do not disturb dogs that are sleeping or eating: Dogs can be protective of their food or sleeping areas. If you see a dog sleeping or eating, give it plenty of space and avoid disturbing it.
Teach children how to behave around dogs: Children should be taught to respect dogs and avoid approaching unfamiliar dogs. They should also be taught not to pull a dog's tail or ears, and to avoid hugging or kissing dogs.
Report stray dogs: If you see stray dogs in your area, report them to the local animal control or municipal authorities. They can take appropriate action to prevent dog bites.
Get vaccinated: If you are at high risk of exposure to dogs or other animals, such as animal handlers or veterinarians, consider getting vaccinated against rabies.
By following these precautions, you can reduce your risk of being bitten by street dogs.
