Every year, many children seek medical attention for dog bites, often occurring at home and involving family dogs. Recognizing canine body language is critical for pet owners, as it helps prevent these attacks by understanding the dog’s anxiety or stress. Many accidents can be avoided by differentiating between a dog that is enjoying children’s interactions and one that is merely tolerating them, which can escalate into aggression if misread by owners.
The best way to prevent a dog attack is to recognize when the dog is feeling anxious, stressed, or showing signs of aggression.
Dogs typically try to communicate their discomfort and will attempt to vacate the area or show signs of anxiety and discomfort.
