Dogs on the mountain and on the mountain pasture

If you want to take your 4-legged friend with you on [...] a hike along alpine pastures, you can assume that there are also cattles, horses and / or sheeps. To avoid dangers and conflicts, there are some behavioral measures that can help you:

 1.    Avoid leaving the trails and pass the animals at a distance of 20 - 50 meters. Do not pet the calves or foals (mother animals react particularly violently) and do not feed animals. This could lead the animals to beg or feel threatened by subsequent hikers.

2.    If it is a larger group, it is absolutely necessary to keep distance and prefer a detour. Let your dog on a leash, only when it could come to a confrontation leash it off. The dog is usually manoeuvrable and fast enough and also leads the alp animals away from you and removes them from danger.

The pasture is not a petting zoo

Special care should be taken in the case of a mother-cow -herd or mares with foals. Mother animals and bulls defend their calves because of the natural protection instinct.

Whereas young animals, tend to be curious however jumpy.

Fast movements quickly cause restlessness.

Cows that are milked regularly are used to human contact and therefore not so jumpy and more relaxed in their movements. Nevertheless you should not underestimate them.

How do cattle threaten

How do you recognize early on whether cattles feel threatened? They fix their goal, lower and lift their heads (they do not look too good) and snort. Only then they begin to run, which is often surprisingly fast.

What can you do if you are threatened by animals?

1.    Stay calm, do not turn your back and leave the pasture slowly!

2.    Take your dog of the leash, if you expect an attack of the animal. Dogs are  fast enough to evade the cattle and this is will help the dog holder / hiker, so that he can escape from the danger zone.

3.    Do not wave with sticks or anything like that. In an emergency a well-aimed hit on the nose is okay.

Normally everybody knows its dog very well and knows how it reacts when it encounters a herd. Nevertheless, caution is always required, because you never know which grazing animals you will meet and how they react or whether they are already aggressive. Please put even the least well-behaved dog on a leash and quietly pass the animals, just to make sure that everyone is safe.
