Any dog, of any breed or background, is capable of biting, including family pets who are loved and pampered. Young children, especially, can be injured severely. Although we often hear about the statistics of reported bites to children, there is still a great deal of misunderstanding and mythology about its causes and safe management, and a persistent disconnect between the public’s understanding about dog behavior, and what dogs actually do. Understanding the behavioral basis and triggers of biting, along with humane, rational handling and training, are important steps towards helping children and dogs live together safely.
