How To Avoid a Dog Bite

Never run from a stray dog. Some dogs will chase any fast-moving target, including people. When you start to run, you can trigger the dog's predatory drives and the dog may chase you down.

Create your dry bath powder by adding 5 drops of essential oil for every cup of cornstarch. Stir the cornstarch and essential oil thoroughly, making sure that the oil does not cause the powder to clump up in potentially skin burning clumps. Select an essential oil for a pleasant scent, or select clary sage to soothe the skin, patchouli to heal wounds or tea tree to combat fleas.

Brush out any fur balls, tangles or clumps of dirt from your dogs coat. Apply the dry bath powder gradually, trying to get the powder as close to the skin as possible. Be careful when working around the face, as your dog's eyes and nose are sensitive to the essential oil.

Give your dog a massage, rubbing and scratching as your help move the dry bath throughout the coat. Finish the dry bath by brushing your dog's coat again thoroughly. Allow your dog to shake a few times and you are finished.
