Article by Gary Toner

Dogs With Adam Kutner - Let’s face it. When you come into contact with a large dog, it can be scary. How can you know the personality of a dog you don’t know? What if it is a ferocious attack dog, trained to strike on command? Even if this is not likely to happen, how can you really know? Hopefully the information provided here will give you some tips on how to keep yourself safe, deal with larger, possibly aggressive, dogs, and what the dog might be feeling when coming into contact with a stranger. Large dogs are most often not aggressive. In fact, many breeds that people perceive to be aggressive are not at all! Many people have a natural fear of larger dogs. If this is you, Adam Kutner wants you to know there are a few steps you can take in order to make yourself feel safer around them. If you often walk and encounter large dogs, you may want to think about carrying a small hand held mace spray. This can help to free you in case of an attack. Ignoring animals and not petting them can drastically reduce your chance of an attack. Avoiding any dog that is not on a leash is of key importance. If a dog is on a leash, your chance of an attack is reduced because the owner has more control of the dog. A free dog is more difficult to stop once engaged. Pay attention to signs such as growling and a tense pose, which could signal the dog is about to attack. Keep away from dogs that look to be dominating other dogs or their owners.Some owners do not understand the temperament of their dog or do not know how to control them. Often, the owner of a dog that has been adopted does not know the history of their new dog. This could lead to the owner not knowing how their new dog will react in any given situation. Employing a dog trainer is the fist step in containing an overly aggressive dog. If you feel that other people are not safe around your dog, keeping him away until you have a better handle on him would be the best idea. Many people use aids such as shock collars, training collars or treats. You as a dog owner have the responsibility to ensure the best way to train your overly aggressive dog. This is why a trainer is usually the best way to go.Dogs and people sometimes misunderstand each other, and gaining a better understanding is essential to making the relationship work. Many dogs are mistreated on a regular basis, and it is up to us as to ensure the safety and happiness of these animals. Working together and taking the right precautions, we can prevent accidents or attacks with larger dogs that are aggressive.Adam Kutner
