Whether you are driving down a street and a dog is wandering without a collar, or you are out walking and find a pooch separated from its owner.<\/p>\n<p>In cases of stray dogs, you should always call the dog warden and ask their advice on what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>That aside, it\u2019s always helpful to understand what a stressed dog is trying to tell you. By watching a dog\u2019s body language, you can learn a lot from a dog which can inform your next steps.<\/p>\n<p>Here we have some top tips on what to look out for when reading the body language of a stray or lost dog.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"400\" data-wp-pid=\"2884\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: RK Jajoria via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>A Happy Dog \u2013 Very Rare<\/h2>\n<p>On rare occasions, stray or lost dogs will come bounding over to you. They will just be pleased to see a human. Some stray dogs may have been lucky and have been fed by humans, so assume that human = good! A lost dog may just be hopeful that you can help them get back to where they are supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>The happy pooch will be excited, they will wag their tail and be interested in anything you may offer. We all know the signs to look for: relaxed body, happy and wagging tail and calm eyes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"750\" data-wp-pid=\"2887\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Aleksa Bujisic via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What A Stressed Dog Looks Like<\/h2>\n<p>More often than not a lost or stray dog will be stressed. Like humans, dogs can have three responses to stress:<\/p>\n<p>1. Freeze<\/p>\n<p>2. Flight<\/p>\n<p>3. Fight<\/p>\n<p>A dog who freezes may do just that; stop dead in their tracks. They may make themselves appear smaller and haunch their back. They may flatten their ears and walk very tentatively.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, a lost or stray dog tends to default to a flight response.<\/p>\n<p>They will run away from you. They have no idea if you pose a threat or not, so the safest option is to run; as quick as their legs can carry them.<\/p>\n<p>The fight response is what we see in what\u2019s deemed an aggressive dog. They may snarl or growl; bearing their teeth. The hair on the back of their necks (i.e. hackles) will be raised.\u00a0 Adrenaline causes muscle contractions in the skin, which results in the hair standing on end.\u00a0 It makes the dog appear much larger than it actually is, which could pose more of a threat.<\/p>\n<p>All three of these responses make it incredibly difficult to catch a lost or stray dog.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Picture3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"352\" data-wp-pid=\"2890\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Pille Kirsi via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Do?<\/h2>\n<p>In the case of a stray dog, contact the dog warden or a local rescue to advise you on the best next steps.<\/p>\n<p>If you are confident that you can help a lost dog however, we have some top tips to help you safely capture them.<\/p>\n<p>First off, if the dog isn\u2019t already coming to you. Don\u2019t call it to you, don\u2019t chase it and don\u2019t corner it. All that will do is make an already stressed dog, even more stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Assume a non-threatening position, not head on to the dog and avoid making eye contact with the dog.<\/p>\n<p>Throw some treats on the floor and crinkle a treat bag. Ignore the dog. Make some \u201cnum num\u201d sounds whilst crinkling the treat bag.<\/p>\n<p>Be patient. It could take up to and over an hour to catch a dog. Sit down on the floor, slowly, and continue to ignore the dog.<\/p>\n<p>Without making eye contact watch their body language.<\/p>\n<p>Are they stressed? Typical stress signs include: lip licking, yawning, circling, tail biting and flattening of the ears.<\/p>\n<p>Are they cowering away or walking tentatively?\u00a0 If so, they are still nervous and need some more time to figure you out.<\/p>\n<p>If their tail goes up, they could merely be interested in what you\u2019re doing or what you\u2019ve got. Don\u2019t immediately assume its aggression.<\/p>\n<p>If they are making progress and coming towards you, their body language may change.\u00a0 Their hackles may go up, or they may start growling. Ignore them and don\u2019t make any sudden movements. A growl is a warning. Stay calm and wait for them to calm down.<\/p>\n<p><em>Safety Tip: If you notice snarling or excessive salivating, their fear has gotten the better of them and they are defaulting to their fight response. Move away, slowly, without any sudden movements. You need to keep yourself safe. This is where it pays to have another human to help, they could make a noise in a different direction to distract whilst you safely remove yourself from the situation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Picture4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"939\" height=\"612\" data-wp-pid=\"2891\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Pixabay via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, as they\u2019ve figured you pose no threat, they will move closer.\u00a0 Encourage them to you with treats or food. You need them close enough that you can easily attach a leash to their collar or get a slip lead over their head. If you aren\u2019t close enough to do that, you haven\u2019t yet succeeded. Making any quick attempts to grab them will just startle the dog and you\u2019ll be back to square one!<\/p>\n<p>Continue to watch his body language once you\u2019ve caught him \u2013 he may feel trapped as he is now on leash. Watch for signs of stress and the potential that he could become defensive.<\/p>\n<p>This also applies to the journey you make with him.\u00a0 Whether you have found contact details on his collar or need to take him to have his microchip scanned. He will still be in a heightened state of stress and largely unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>He may avoid contact with you, turn his head away or look away from you or he may paw at you wanting attention. He may be panting or salivating excessively. Stressed dogs will also excessively lick themselves. It\u2019s not an odd time to groom himself, he\u2019s just trying to calm himself down.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, if you are attempting to catch a dog, first and foremost, you both need to be kept safe. Don\u2019t put either one of you in danger. Watching a dog\u2019s body language is a crucial in helping you predict their behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Stay calm, be patient and don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn some top tips on what to look out for when reading the body language of a stray or lost dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,8],"tags":[51,37,52,27,53],"class_list":["post-2883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-posts","category-lost-found-pet-tips","tag-body","tag-dog","tag-language","tag-lost","tag-stray"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dog Body Language For Stray Or Lost Dogs &#8211;
