• Barking
• Showing its teeth
• Snarling/Growling
• Ears laid back
• Hair standing up on its back

What To Do If You See Warning Signs That A Dog May Bite:

• Remain motionless. Stand still with fists up under your chin.
• Say "No" or "Go Home" in a firm voice.
• Don't stare the dog in the eyes.
• If you are on the ground or knocked down, lay still with fists over your ears, elbows over your face, and knees drawn to your chest.
• In case of an attack, put something (a purse, a backpack, a jacket) between you and the dog.
