We speak about street dog consent and choices quite widely on SDAFT. Dogs are sentient beings, they are individuals who have the choice to say NO. During our feeding rounds we have seen some street dogs choosing touch as their medium to connect to humans, while some are very clear of not wanting touch. This body autonomy needs to be respected. This respect lays the foundation for further interactions with them. They communicate NO in different ways like walking away, turning their head, crouching, tightened body muscles, lip licks, softening of eyes or flinching of body and many more. When their NO is ignored, they are forced to escalate to fear barking, growling, snapping, lunging and eventually biting.
Think about it; wouldn't we do the same if someone didn't listen to our boundaries?

Would you like to see more of such infotainment series ?
Like Alexandra Horowitz @alexandrahorowitz beautifully puts it - "Dogs see the world with their nose" They have around 300 mn receptors in their body. They sniff and process the information around them. They are called macrosmatic which means having a highly developed sense of smell while us humans are microsmatic with an underdeveloped sense of smell. Always encourage new dogs to make the first move. Let them approach you and not the other way around. This way, the dog gets a choice here to decide if they should approach you or not. When they have this freedom to make the right choice they will come to you and sniff you. When they sniff you, they will get to know you much better. And when they have given you a good sniff, ensure they still have the freedom to walk away and leave. So let the dogs make the first move.

The ""Dog Pulse Project" discovered that approaching a dog head-on increased the person's pulse rate, while a slight deviation (curving away from the dog) decreased the dog's heart rate. Walking away or curving is a common practice in the dog world for calm and polite introductions, conflict resolution, and calming down either the dog or the dogs around them. This body language cue, introduced by Turid Rugaas, is detailed in their book ""On Talking Terms with Dogs," which we highly recommend reading for more insights.
This knowledge can be useful when walking your dog near other street dogs or leashed dogs that may require space and peaceful coexistence, a topic we'll delve into further in our upcoming reels. If you found this information helpful, please share it with fellow dog lovers. Don't forget to visit our website, streetdogsarefamilytoo.com, to learn more about us and explore unique merch designs.

Common mistakes like bending over, keeping the face close to the dog's face and intense staring can cause dogs to feel threatened. In the study "" Human behavior preceding dog bites to the face"" they have found that bites due to these mistakes among 132 dogs studied, were 76%,19% and 5% respectively. When the dogs are threatened they can go into:
🐶 Flight mode : trying to escape
🐶 Fight mode : ready to react to the fear
🐶 Shut down : mentally shut down from surroundings and surrendering to the fear
Our street dogs go through a lot already. It's unfair to put them in stressful situations when a simple change in our approach can make a world of difference. To know how we can make a positive impact stay tuned for our next video tomorrow.

If somebody now tells us you are a dog, we are happily going to say " Yayyyy I am a dog ❤️ " proud to be a dog 🐶. And see their reaction because for people like us this beautiful word means A LOT.
@oggyandfrunds remembering when you said how people use the line "Kutte ki poonch, tedhi ki tedhi hin rahegi" as an insulting metaphor . Well we love kutthe ki tails , no tails, everything about them ❤️😍
