Finding Lost Dogs - Animal Behavior 2

  1. The Alert Zone - A dog's body language begins to change as you move closer. Using patience and correct body language can reduce this zone.

Caution! In The Alert Zone, you should stop, avoiding advancing forward, and talk normally in various tones to the dog. As the dog becomes accustomed to your presence, you can advance a foot or two. Never walk straight at the dog instead shuffle sideways with your hip and shoulder facing the dog.
