Walking without stress for dogs(owners)

For those who might be afraid of dogs or do not like them, here are tips on feeling safe: 

• 1 Don`t make eye contact with the dog.

• 2 Don`t walk fast to avoid a dog that might surprise you. Slow down or stop.

• 3 There are devices that emit a high-pitched tone that keeps dogs away, but these are rarely used.
• 4 You can say: "I am offended!".

Dog feces on your way? Sometimes the dog owners are willing to listen. For example, ask them: "Can I help by suggesting a better dog-walking route?”. Or provide a poop bag and say: “You're welcome! ". Avoid getting upset at the dog or the owner. It might be more cathartic to shout, but won`t solve the problem.
