Someone who has been bitten numerous times either doesn\u2019t pay attention to what dogs say, or doesn\u2019t respond appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>Dogs almost always give clear signals \u2013 though the signs may be subtle \u2013 before they bite. A \u201cbite without warning\u201d is truly a rare occurrence. Most of the time the human just wasn\u2019t listening, or didn\u2019t have any education about what the dog was expressing. I have worked with dogs professionally for more than 40 years and, knock wood, experienced only a handful of bites, none of them serious.<\/p>\n<p>I remember with crystal clarity an incident from when I was a humane officer for the Marin (California) Humane Society, responding to a complaint of a Rhodesian Ridgeback who was at large \u2013 and reportedly aggressive toward people. I pulled up in my animal control truck, got out, and started up the sidewalk toward the house. Suddenly I saw a brown blur out of the corner of my eye, and realized the Ridgeback was charging at me from behind the house. I froze in place.<\/p>\n<p>She ran straight up to me and muzzle-punched me (hit me with her closed mouth). Although I had not received any in-depth training in understanding dog body language, I realized that this was a strong warning, and if I moved abruptly she would likely bite me. She stepped back a couple of feet, and I slowly backed up to my truck. Once there I was able to retrieve a control pole, gently noose her, load her into my truck and, unscathed, walk back to the house to talk to her owner. Phew!<\/p>\n<p>The ability to read and react appropriately to dog body language can keep you safe with your own dog as well as others you may encounter. Here are four photos that present different levels of danger based on the dogs&#8217; aggressive expressions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"null figure-width-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whole-dog-journal.com\/media\/newspics\/\/p1bgh81o3415nq19chsggjic1c0a6.jpg\" alt=\"dog hard stare\" width=\"317\" height=\"287\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This mother dog is giving the photographer a direct stare \u2013 and her eyes look somewhat \u201chard.\u201d Her stiff, forward-leaning posture and ears, and slightly pushed-forward lips, are warning you to stay back. She\u2019s not aroused, just guarding her puppies. It would be wise to heed her warning.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"null figure-width-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whole-dog-journal.com\/media\/newspics\/\/p1bgh81o35fit1360hnb9g51qct7.jpg\" alt=\"dog aggressive posture\" width=\"343\" height=\"234\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next dog is also pushing her lips forward, in a slightly more threatening display. Her posture, tail, and ears are quite stiff, and her hair is standing up a little. She\u2019s laser-focused on another dog, and not in a particularly friendly way. This dog hasn\u2019t aggressed yet, but she\u2019s starting to get aroused. We\u2019d give her a wide berth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"null figure-width-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whole-dog-journal.com\/media\/newspics\/\/p1bgh81o35d764ti103b17f7raj8.jpg\" alt=\"dog aggression\" width=\"363\" height=\"277\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here are two dog body language lessons in one photo. The adult dog is making a fearsome face, drawing his lips back in an impressive snarl, and holding his ears and tail up and stiff. But notice that he\u2019s not leaning at all forward, and his eyes are not super hard (though it\u2019s difficult to see from this angle). He\u2019s giving the puppy a stern warning to \u201cDon\u2019t come near me!\u201d and the puppy reads this loud and clear. She\u2019s responded with a classic puppy grovel: she\u2019s lowered her body posture and leaned backward, and she\u2019s holding her ears back and wagging her tail. She won\u2019t look directly at the adult, but looks away with soft, squinty eyes. Note that she\u2019s trying to appease the adult dog \u2013 she\u2019s acknowledging his warning \u2013 but she isn\u2019t terrified or afraid for her life.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"null figure-width-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whole-dog-journal.com\/media\/newspics\/\/p1bgh868vu1a1f1rmh1ec71sug1ig26.jpg\" alt=\"untrained aggressive dog\" width=\"408\" height=\"299\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This dog is dangerously conflicted. His lips are pushed forward hard, but his ears are pinned back; his eye contact is hard and direct but his tail is low. His posture looks like he\u2019s leaning forward and back; he\u2019s frightened and willing to come after you. This dog was being held following his (and another dog\u2019s) attack on an elderly woman who was in her own yard. The dogs were untrained, unsocialized, and inadequately contained; both paid the ultimate price for their owner\u2019s negligence and irresponsibility.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe Dog Food Dog Training &amp; Behavior Dog Health &amp; Care
