Biting
by David the Dogman
Often dogs lash out when reprimanded for
doing something wrong. This is because the dog does not know what
it is doing wrong. It only knows you are being aggressive. Remember
a dog should not be punished for anything after three seconds of
the act, it just does not understand. Any punishment after that
time can result in the dog fearing you and can often cause aggression.
Smack a puppy which nips you and you will
just teach it to nip and run. Shout 'ouch' and ignore it. Teach
it that nipping is not rewarding by ignoring.
Biting by dogs is a serious problem as these
statistics from America show.
According to the Journal of the American
Medical Association, dog bites are responsible for 4.5 million injuries
every year in the U.S.A., 750,000 people requiring medical attention
and 334,000 ending in a hospital emergency room. The Insurance Information
Institute reported that insurance companies paid an estimated $250
million in dog bite liability claims in 1996 (Check out our Pet
Insurance Quotes section). More than half of all dog bites come
from familiar dogs, those of friends, neighbours and even the owner’s
own dog.
While some breeds may have more aggressive
tendencies, all dogs are potential biters so don't be misled by
size.
However the Humane Society of the United
States reports that period from 1979-1996, five breeds, the Pit
Bull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Husky and the Alaskan Malamute,
were responsible for two-thirds of fatal dog attacks and, in two
years from 1980 to 1996, 304 people died from dog attacks.
The American Veterinary Medical Association
reports that dog attacks in the U.S. are the No. 1 public health
problem for children, with more than half of all children bitten
by age 12, most before the age of nine years. The leading reason
for dog euthanasia is aggressive tendencies.
Commitment, Firmness, but kindness.
