Vicious attack by grandparents' 'timid' collie leaves boy, 2, scarred for life after needing 200...

Every once in a while a story captures media attention. Bites can happen with the close presence of adults and with unsupervised interactions. The key ingredient is understanding what a dog communicates BEFORE he bites and teaching our children to give dogs space. Empowering every parent and child with the basic understanding of early dog stress signals and appropriate interactions is the key to decreasing these events. Take time today to google "dog body language or stress signals." Doggone Safe is an excellent resource.

Joshua Mann, two, had emergency surgery to repair the damage after he was attacked by the young dog. He will endure further surgery before going home.

Rottweiler Protecting Baby

This is absolutely terrifying and not the slightest bit funny. Most often i believe people need more education surrounding subtle body language that dog's offer to let us know they are uncomfortable. THIS dog is overt and clear. Why a parent would put the baby, dog or himself in this position is beyond me. Practice makes perfect and in this case, it's alarming.

This dog is only playing Rottweiler's love to growl, She is very well trained. what do you think? comments welcome good or bad.

Dangerous Doberman. Or?

This baby is learning behavior she will practice not just on this dog, but other dogs. This is a lovely tolerant dog right now, but how many tongue pulls might it take to have him feeling less ecstatic about sharing space with this tiny human? Protect your dog and your baby. Set up safe co-living without potentially dangerous physical exploration between dog and baby. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1TI-60lsY8

5 dog breeds that don't mix well with kids

When looking at the child-dog relationship - we need to focus on the behavior of both species, not the breed. Children from the very first glimpse and interest in dogs must learn how to appropriately interact with dogs and all dogs must learn to tolerate acceptable levels of handling as well as being proofed against guarding (bowls, beds, toys, food, touch etc). Focusing on breed truly misses the mark.
