Each runner will have at least one experience with dogs. Frances mentioned his running experience bite by dog. The dog's owner laughed and said: "It's just gently bite". Mr. France said:" Is it gently bite? Look at my belly,
it is bleeding". Again the dog owner smiled and said:"It was playing with you".
This clearly proves that all dog owners have a eccentricity that their dog will not do bad things in any conditions. I met a dog in a near by park when running and experienced unhappy things. I picked up a stick under the panic, let it not approach me. But the dog owner come forward and commands me put the stick down. He said, "You scared my dog". I unpleasantly said:" your dog scared me!" He said: "Well, go on the exercise elsewhere. My dog has the right like you to stay here.
In brief, you can not get sympathy from dog owners. Instead, you must learn to protect you. When comes to how to protect yourself, there are many ways. Some years ago, I tried all these ways and discussed with many runners about this issue. Even discuss this issue with a veterinary practice running. He provided some insights on the psychology of dogs. These are the common useful methods to deal with dogs.
Treat dogs friendly. Attempt to make friends with dogs using the Christ's love.
Richardson roars exclusion method. Richardson is a dog person who has detailed study of legislation on dogs. He usually the methods of "go away", "go". He told us this method is always effective. But please notice Richardson have the height of Six feet three inches, I think it will be ok with any methods with this height.
Neglect the existence of dogs. This method is time to see the dog, simply turn a blind eye. This method is not always effective. When a dog barks to you, it wants to get your attention. Unless you respond it appropriately, or it will become more dangerous.
Running
Jump crazy when dog comes. This is when the dog is coming near to you, in this important moment; you keep the original running speed. When the dog is almost flew your body, you suddenly turn to it, let out the strange scary roar. The dog will hesitate if he should violate you.
Frighten it. Dogs naturally do not like throwing things to them. If you bend down, and seems like you are picking stones, most dogs will turn away, to the most courageous dogs you would take other measures.
These methods are not always useful. However, you may find the last two methods are better. A veterinary told me that each dog is loyal to his territory. They quickly define the territory and if will shout if you get into his territory. Calm state will be safe and It is useful in most occasions. If you are afraid of them, dogs will be more furious.
