| The 3 Most Important Dog Owners Can Do for Dog Bite Prevention... | |||
| 1.
Spay or Neuter Your Dog - Neutered
pets are calmer, healthier and less likely to be aggressive than if they are
left unaltered. Neutering prevents unwanted dogs that may end up in shelters
or in less than ideal conditions where they may grow up to be poorly
socialized or aggressive.

Condition Your Dog For the World -

the world. Give your puppy lots of new positive experiences -

positive methods and do not pin, shake, roll or otherwise act aggressively
with your puppy or dog. These methods can result in a dog that redirects its
aggression toward weaker family members such as children. Learn to

Supervise Your Dog -
Supervise your dog at all times around children - even if the dog knows the
children. Do not allow children to hug and kiss or otherwise maul the dog.
If visiting children are bothering your dog, put the dog away or send the
children home.
