How do dog bites occur in Blue Springs, MO?
Dogs will bite for any number of reasons. If they feel cornered, stressed, or scared, a dog may lash out violently even if they have no previous history of aggression. Poorly trained dogs who are not well socialized are more likely to bite. Children are more likely to suffer a dog bite because they are less aware of canine body language. It is important to teach children the signs of aggressive dog behavior early, but you must also be mindful when your child is around a dog, whether they know the dog or not. The only way to completely prevent a dog bite is to keep your child away from any and all dogs.
