Situations where dogs attack
Dogs are usually kind and close to human. Unless we provoke it intentionally, or do the below actions, they shouldn’t attack us:
1. Staring directing at a dog’s eyes: Staring at them may provoke them, and may make them nervous, and trigger their self-defense mechanism.
2. Emotionally unstable: Being bullied and expulsed, they might be nervous and frightened to see humans, which might lead to an attack.
3. Walking into a dog’s territory: Dogs are territorial, in order to protect its resources i.e. food, territory etc. They may be aggressive towards people that pass by.
4. During breeding: Male dogs during breeding season and female dogs right after giving birth may be emotionally unstable and can be aggressive.
5. Hunting instinct: Dogs by nature have the instinct to hunt fast preys, therefore they might be aggressive to humans that move fast or run.
