Dog bites

I came across this article this afternoon and thought it was quite informing and well worth read on causes of biting dogs.

Good article! But hubby and I had to chuckle wryly over this 'study'. Talk to any trainer, or any owner who's successfully worked through an aggressive episode with their dog, and they can tell you that the owners' attitudes are very predictive of outcome. There's a reason a good trainer works on training the owners, not just the dog, in that sort of situation. Nice that the scientific community is finally starting to catch up to real world experience!
