Be a Responsible Dog Owner - How to Avoid Dog Bites
from:The onset of a dog bite or attack brings harmful consequences to
your family. If your dog bites someone, you may be forced to pay
for injuries cause by the bite or even defend yourself against a
lawsuit. Your property insurance bill may also increase which
affects your household budget. Some neighborhoods have even
drafted ordinances to prevent future attacks. This can form an
uncomfortable relationship with your neighbors.
The cascading and catastrophic events that can come with a dog
bite can be avoided. The dog owner simply needs to understand
why dog bites occur, and avoid them. Some dogs attack because
they are protecting their territory or because they are afraid
and want to establish dominance. Some dogs pose indoor dangers
because they perceive small children or infants as prey. Others
have been taught by their owner that biting is an acceptable
form of play. No matter the reason behind it, the result is the
same the dog bites.
There are four very simple steps that can be taken to keep your
dog from biting someone.
Spay or neuter your dog Dogs that are spayed or neutered are
three times less likely to bite. It also reduces his or her
desire to roam and fight with other dogs.
Make your dog sociable Introducing your dog to many different
people and situations allows your dog to get used to being in
various environments. This will help prevent them from feeling
frightened, which is a leading cause of bite.
Have your dog trained Well trained dogs are trained to listen
and obey their owner's command at home, and even in unfamiliar
situations. Only you can teach your dog how to behave in your
home, so be sure that you participate in the training of your
dog. Training is also a good way of socializing your dog.
Be a responsible dog owner Remember to keep your dog's
vaccinations current and license your dog as required by law.
Don't allow your dog to roam know where your dog is at all
times. Dogs that spend a lot of time alone in the yard or tied
often become dangerous. Spend time with your dog and you will
both enjoy each other's company.
Being a responsible dog owner not only means providing a loving
and safe home for your pet. When hurt or scared, even
friendly dogs may bite. Being a responsible owner also
means protecting others from the actions of your pet.
