Dogs

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Dogs

Post by explorer »

Here is a video of dogs being aggressive towards a cyclist in Greece.

The same thing can happen in Cambodia. I have not seen that many dogs in one place, but it is not uncommon for there to be 5 or 6 or more. You can meet aggressive dogs almost anywhere, but they can be worse in farming areas, where there are few other houses around.

I have not been bitten, but I know of one foreigner and many Cambodians who have.

If going to those areas, either cycling or walking, you need to know what to do if you come across aggressive dogs. Like:

Keep your eyes on them, they like to get people from behind, but not all dog bites are from behind. Dogs sometimes bite prey or humans who are running away.

Carry a stick or piece of bamboo, and swing it at them. If they get too close, hit them.

Pick up stones, and throw it at them. If there are no stones, act like you are picking up stones.

While cycling, I have occasionally kicked dogs in the head, that may have otherwise bitten me.

Stay away from dog fights.

If the Cambodian owners see dogs being aggressive, most of them will call the dog away, but you could be bitten before the owners have a chance.

Don't run over the dog.

Something light hearted.

We experimented in thailnad with electronid deterrents. You can find them as apps for your phone. One we tried fro mosquioes cut a path through a bunch of them on a puddle. the dog one was more impressive. we chased an anoying cur up the road with it, he would not come closer that 5 metres and he wasnt happy. You can order battery and mains powered ones from china. I think they are illegal in europe now
personally i would train my doigs to attack cyclists. slow moving mbile road blocks and any fat person who wear lycra should be jailed for fashion offences

I am probably faster on my bike than most other road users.......

Anyway, I have run, cycled, hashed in SE Asia for 24 years and have never had a run-in with dogs. The local breeds are all bark, no bite. It is the foreign breeds that worry me.

Mans best friend,,, until you kick them in the head when all they wanted to do was lick your feet.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
