daviddunham Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I am walking at the beach, there is a lonely dog afar... will it bite me, or my small child? ("Yea", I use my baseball bat, "no", i do not use my baseball bat) how to tell? What to look / watch out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) unlikely to bite you but make sure it doesn't get behind you, sometimes they sneak up and bite. Barking usually means they aren't going to bite just trying to chase you away Edited April 26, 2022 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Derek Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 As far as I've seen, no Thai dog can even be bothered to bark during daytime. At night it's a different matter. in any case, the universal trick is to just bend down and pretend to pick up a stone. All dogs understand that and it will back off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are in packs that can be a little scary. Try to understand what's going on, sometimes they get nervous and start barking, i head that off early just by talking in a calm voice before they growl or bark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) No need for a baseball bat. Also no match for a mad fighting dog. Heaven helps if such a mistreated beast escapes the cage. Happened once to me walking the dogs. Almost killed my dogs. Didn't go after me. I broke a big bamboo stick on them to no avail. The proud owner was a teacher Stray/Soi dogs: If you really scared have a thin long stick. And never run/accelerate/try to "flee" (impossible anyway). Just the opposite: stop and turn to them. A bit of shouting and waiving the stick helps. Never experienced a stray dog that would not shy away. BTW would you tell what beach you are walking?

HauptmannUK Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 About six years ago I was attacked by a dog in Cambodia. A really big beast - about 5 feet tall when it reared up baring its teeth. I had to grapple with it and punch its head a few times. It ran off and fortunately I was uninjured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
