First, why are you approaching the dog?

 First, why are you approaching the dog? Do you think the dog is lost and you’re trying to get it back to its owner? Are you trying to take its picture, read the tag on its collar, get her or him into a vehicle to go to the vet and scan for a chip? Do you think the dog is injured or ill? Good luck, but you really have to be careful. No matter how friendly your intentions, you could get hurt. First, don’t stare, don’t run, don’t make sudden moves, and don’t lean over them. Watch the dog’s communication signals as you slowly approach. If they’re growling, have the hair on their back up, stiffen their body stance, or lunge at you, back slowly away and give up whatever you were trying to do. If the dog is injured or in pain, they are more likely to hurt you if you make it worse in any way. If they stay calm, you can stand or squat near them and let them sniff your legs or feet. If they remain calm, tail wagging and relaxed, mouth open, with a friendly or curious look, slowly extend your hand in front of their nose sniff. All the better if you have a treat for the dog (drop it on the ground in front of them, some dogs accidentally break the skin if you offer it from your hand.)
