With black bears the opposite is recommended. Fight for you life!
Not that any of us will ever need this advice, but I felt I needed to mention it.

Any advice about what to do if you encounter a Fl black bear while out walking your dog? Most dogs I know would start barking at the bear as soon as they saw it. Personally, I am just not going to go out with the dog near dawn nor dusk when the black bear is supposedly active.
From looking at a map of the Villages, this black bear sighting around June 20, 2012 is just northeast of the Winifred/Belvedere traffic circle off of Buena Vista Blvd. It is looking east on Kingston Way.
