Approximately 4 million people are bitten by dogs in the United States alone every year and 800K of those need immediate medical attention for their Wounds.
Out of this 4 million, Half of them, that is, 2 Million are children and they are very vulnerable to Dog Bite Attacks. Especially they are not aware of the things that they need to do in such a situation.
Any Dog has got the ability to bite and cause severe damage to the human body and it is very important to teach dog owners of ways by which they can stop their dog from getting aggressive and biting others.
5 Main Reasons for Dog Biting:
1. Dog Possessiveness
Dogs get possessive about their property such as any toy, territory or any human being. In order to protect their property, they tend to bite someone.
You need to Train your dog early in order to minimize this kind of behavior. This should start from his puppyhood.
Teaching your dog about "Leave It" command is very useful and can prevent him from guarding his territory or toy.
You can also teach children not to bother any dog when they are eating .
2. Dog Fear can cause Bites
Dogs tends to bite someone of fear. Fear is usually directed towards starngers or someone they feel scared to. Thats why i often tell people never to touch or come near any stranger or unfamiliar dog.
Chances are high that he may not be too friendly and can do anything.
3. Dog Pain
Pain can cause any friendly dog to Bite. This is because they are depressed or tensed. Your dog might be suffering from chronic or back problem. Instruct your children to stay away from areas where your dog is getting hurt as he may get aggressive if that pains him.
I would advice you to schedule an appointment with your veterinary doctor and get some medicine such as pain killers to minimize the pain
You can Train your dog as well using Dog Training blogs such as Little paws training.
