When touching a new dog, how do you know if it will bite or accept
>>4928618Body language
>>4928618You present the back of the hand for a sniff with words of affirmation
>>4928627don't shove hand in dogs face if you are really unsure.
>>4928628pussy
>>4928630Shoving your hand into a cats face is totally fine. We are talking about dogs here, dumbass.
>>4928618Ask their owner if they believe "dogs need disciplined or they walk all over you and become aggressive"if they say yes, if you touch the dog they will fear you but not as much as the person who consistently hits you and bite just to make sure you don't get the first strike.If they say no, the dog is safe to pet (scratch their chest not their head)Or do the short method. If they are brown, or are wearing any punisher/MAGA/AR15/back the blue shit, do not touch their dog.>>4928632This is how you go to the ER with infected tendons after being bit by a cat. Cats can shove their faces into your hand all they want. Never shove your hand into a cats face or towards a cat at all. Most cats you meet outdoors have been severely traumatized by their low station on the food chain, especially if they are neutered. Good for not having a cat infestation, but any intact cat will viciously go after their ass until they take to hiding.
>>4928640You sound like king chud. If a cat gets close enough for me to shove my hand in it's face I will be doing it.
>>4928632Depends, if the cat is hissing you'll probably get scratched.
>>4928622some dogs like pitbulls don't give any body language warning that they're about to bite
>>4928655Some cats will just look at you funny and then nail you. I agree, treat any cat outside like a potentially abused dog. Indoor cats are safer.
>>4928640if a large dogs owner is female or looks conservative or poor i cross the street every time and observe the dog pulling towards me and getting yanked from a distancefuck getting bit by an abused dog or permanently deranged rescue shitbull
>>4928628>>4928632if an animal bites at you instead of submitting when you shove your hand in its face it means you're low T
>>4928618Oh great more shitty dog spam
>>4928627This is correct. The dog needs to know you're chill before you go for the overhead pet.
>>4928740This is actually shitty cat spam disguised as dog spam.
>>4930276Shut the fuck up retard
>>4928618Crouch down and offer your hand. Don't shove it on his face, let him come to you.
>>4930389>Cat spammer is seething that I revealed the truth. LOLOLOL.
>>4928618you dont touch "new" dogs. You pet dogs when the owner introduces it to you, so its not "new" to you anymore, and the other way around. You're not supposed to touch lone street dogs
>>4930389Based
>>4931986Samefagging is not based, chud.
>>4930853I always handle every dog I see Deal with it
>>4928618Pet it. If it bites you, then you know it will bite. If it doesn't, then you're probably okay.
>>4931988Cringe
>>4932036Samefagging is cringe. You aren't fooling anyone.
dogs will curl their lips and show teeth generally, most dogs will accept you as friendly when you stuff them with tastey treats tthen you just have to grow some balls have some faith and risk your well being
HOWIE

>>4928679Breaking news leftist terrified of dogs, and everything else.
>>4932166Abused dogs are more likely to biteAnd right wingers abuse dogs to be traditional and feel like they have poor8 million get bit each year. Mostly from abused right wing appeal dogs like german shepherds.
>>4932167Good job iphone, correcting power to poor. I’m going to bring this up with their DEI team for a laugh
>>4932111This.
>>4932236>uhm, us trad chads dony abuse dogs. when i kick my gsd in the ribs and zap them with the shock collar its not abuse. its deserved discipline for strong alpha males. i am the alpha chimp in this jungle. get out of my territory before i bite your nose off, homo!>the dog: i hate people i hate people if that one touches me im im im ripping its fucking hand off before it hits me i hate people

>>4928640>Most cats you meet outdoors have been severely traumatized by their low station on the food chainSource? This sounds like an interesting concept, but i have a feeling you just pulled it out your ass.
>>4928640>low station on the food chainWhat hunts urban outdoor cats that they are so low on the food chain? Maybe your migrants who are eating the cats and eating the pets. So, nothing. Your severe trauma theory sounds like bs.
>>4928618Just use some common sense. A dog that looks really tense probably does not want you petting it. A dog that rushes to you wagging it's tail probably wants all the pets you can give.
>>4932475Dogs, coyotes, birds of prey, and cars will all wreck cats. My lab's eaten 2 cats this year alone. Very nice dog, totally non-aggressive. Cats, squirrels, and rabbits are just natural prey and get the squeaky toy treatment followed by the rawhide chew treatment. Surely you know why dogs like those right?Raccoons and foxes will also sometimes kill cats.All of a cats instincts and its rat-like reproductive rate are centered around it being a prey animal. Basically a rabbit that eats meat.
>>4932696None of the things you listed are an issue here, except cars, which are not "hunters" the same way a lighting strike isn't hunting anything.Saying that the cat is a prey animal is fundamentally wrong, it is a species of vicious hunters. If anything, dogs are more of a prey animal because of their total dependence on humans and their whims.Not being a catfag, i prefer dogs, but cats are famously efficient killing machines, tuned to hunt, and their lifestyle in nature makes avoiding potential conflict easy.
>>4932748This is just cope. Cats get ran down and killed by other animals all the time. They’re hunters of smaller things. A dragonfly is but that doesn’t stop it from getting murked by sparrows. Domestic dogs routinely hunt and kill cats. Cats are very, very low on the food chain.
>>4932748>catfag: *delusions*>catfag: *releases cat*>cat: *kills some songbirds and dies*>catfag: why does /an/ hate me? this must be anti-cat schizos. no one sane would deny that our feline masters are supreme beings. i should poison someones dog. Catfags, when have you not been like this?
>>4932748this poster is the bird and coyote gore spammer setting up his own routine btw. no one actually believes this. even most dog breeds are notorious cat munchers.
>>4932748Dogs have self sustaining feral populations all over the globe. Any animal can live free and any animal can be dominated by mankind. If your cat isnt subservient to your whims maybe you’re just a bad cat owner?
>>4928618Don't feel fear. Animals can sense it and will be more likely to lash out at you in agitation.Source: I am dog
>>4932802boomer retard fud lore
>>4928628>>4928632You're holding your hand out not shoving it into it's face. Youre supposed to let it come to you and if it accepts you then pet it's shoulder.
>>4932696Pathetic dog buttsniffer larp
>>4933929Dogs eating cats on their own land is extremely common. Most areas don’t even consider it a legal issue. Cats are simply the natural prey of larger canids and felids (even bobcats eat housecats).
