Dogs do not like loud noises, and the piercing sound of a whistle could be enough to stop a dog in attack mode in its tracks. Carrying a whistle when you walk or run is a good way to be prepared in the unlikely event you stumble upon a dog ready to bite. A whistle can also help protect you from dangerous people, as it can alert others nearby that you need help.
If you are being attacked by a dog, using a series of loud, firm commands can help you divert their attention and avoid dog bites. It is also important to note that if you see a stray dog or a pack approaching you, being prepared with other methods such as a spray bottle can help.
Do not kick the dog, or it might bite down harder, do not scream and run, or you might encourage the dog to chase after you.
