Prevent your dog from biting someone
Minimize risk of your dog biting a neighbor or guest
Your dog is familiar to you, and that is part of why you trust it to behave around you. But remember that nearly everyone else around you is a stranger to your dog. In the same way that it is valuable to make an effort to avoid dog bites, it is important to reduce the likelihood of your pet acting aggressively:
- Keep vaccinations current.
- Have your dog spayed/neutered.
- Restrict off-the-leash movement to a fenced-in yard.
- Never leave babies or small children unsupervised with your dog.
- Rough play should be discouraged: it may unintentionally invite aggressive behavior on the part of other dogs or people.
- Use professional obedience training to support your efforts to make your dog obey.
