I like to hike, and I have two large dogs (German Shepherd, Presa Canario).

After a long hike I look reasonably homeless (long hair, unshaven, muddy). Combined with two large, potentially dangerous dogs, it might scare off some people.

How can I make sure I do not scare people / make them more comfortable meeting me on the trail?

How can I make sure I do not scare people / What would make you (reader) feel more comfortable meeting me on the trail?
