PLEASE DO NOT CALL, CHASE OR WHISTLE
This may cause your dog to run in fear and into danger.
Lost dogs often go into survival mode and may not recognize their owners right away.
Instead:
• Sit down or lower yourself
• Turn slightly away from your dog
• Avoid direct eye contact
• Stay calm and quiet
• Toss high value food (chicken, hot dogs, cheese)
• Let your dog approach you
• Do NOT reach or grab too quickly
Your goal is to reduce pressure and build trust.
