A way to Control dogs?
I would like to know whether the following is true or not?
Is it correct that if someone fears dogs, they are more likely to be attacked by them? Or when someone does not fear dogs, will dogs attack him if he comes near to the home where a dog lives? I heard that animals feel fear of humans. I just watched a documentary from Canada on TV, which says that animals can`t smell fear as fear itself is an emotion but they can smell the special odour of sweat that is produced by fear. So ( this is my reasoning, was not in the documentary) if they smell of our sweat having the odour of fear they will feel that they are stronger than us, & will attack us, and what if some one do not fear dogs approach near one at someone`s home & don`t show any fear ,will the dog attack him or not? I also saw in a movie ( I think that it was actor Bruce Willis) that he submitted himself before a dog who was running to attack him, ( that is he made sounds similar to dogs who recognise other dogs as his superior) & rolled over onto his back just like what dogs do. And the agressing dog then stooped his atack. Does this method work in reality when a dog attack us?( that is if we do the same, will the dog stop attacking us? I wonder whether this method or the one I mentioned first( not showing fear, nor feeling fear ) will work with all dogs, or only untrained dogs( that is dogs that has not been trained as a guard dog). Another item I would like to know. I heard that if one allows a dog to lie down in front of one`s door, this means that we are allowing the dog to consider himself a the head of the group, that is the dominant, and that then he/she will not respond when you order him/her to do something. Regards Joseph. |
