While Dog Bite Prevention Week is officially over, the potential for dog bites never ends; especially if people – and children in particular – don’t understand canine body language.
To help continue educating both dog owners and non-dog owners alike, below is a great graphic from the ASPCA with more tips and information on properly interacting with a dog.
Please share this so together we can help prevent dog bites!
I’d love to hand this to every knucklehead we encounter on walks. Not EVERY dog is as sweet and easy going as Sam (my last OES for example suffered from years of abuse from a previous owner and didn’t take well to strangers, especially men). He was constantly in flight/fight mode around new people, poor thing. Thanks for sharing that graphic! Great info.

We feel your pain!
If only people would learn – and practice – just a few simple rules of respect when meeting and interacting with dogs (especially those they don’t know), we could take a real “bite” out of those 4.5 million incidents every year!
Good luck with those knuckleheads, they’re apparently everywhere!
