Dog Bite Prevention Tips Part 2 | Toledo Ohio dog bite attorney

Here are tips from the CDC about how to prevent dog bites after you have decided to bring a dog into your household:

1. Spay or neuter your dog-- this often reduces aggressive tendancies.
2. Never leave infants or young children alone with a dog.
3. Don't play aggressive games with your dog (i.e. wrestling).
4. Properly socialize and train any dog entering your household. Teach the dog submissive behaviors, like rolling over to expose their belly and giving up food without growling.
5. Immediately seek professional advice from a veterinarian, animal behaviorist or trusted breeder if the dog develops aggressive or undesirable behaviors.

Our Toledo Ohio dog bite lawyers encourage all dog owners to follow these tips in order to prevent dog bites from occuring in their home.
