Even those who felt knowledgeable
about dogs, perceived that a bite «would not happen to them,» and so despite the warning signs would continue acting in the same manner, suggesting that
education on
body language was ineffective as a preventative measure.
There are many things a community can do to prevent
dog bites, including educating parents how to supervise and when to intervene in kid - and -
dog interactions, teaching owners how to socialize and train their
dogs with methods that encourage friendly behavior and providing some basic
education about canine
body language so the many misunderstandings we have with
dogs each day can be reduced.
