Owner’s Responsibilities The Law can hold owners liable for their dog's actions—including biting. You can
reduce the likelihood of your dog biting someone by observing these points: Socialize and train your dog. It is best to start
while your dog is a puppy, however, most dogs can be socialized
Do not let your dog run loose. Provide a fenced run and leash your dog when you go for a walk. Avoid having young children
walk dogs they cannot control;
When you meet children while out for a walk, be sure they approach your dog properly. This ensures their safety as well
as protecting your dog, no one has to meet your dogs, if this is to happen let it be on your terms.
Teach children
to observe the simple rules of safe and considerate behaviour around dogs. In particular, teasing, chasing and yelling should
be discouraged. Your dog may tolerate it, but another may not;
Choose your dog carefully. Pups should be evaluated
in light of the parent dog's behaviour. Select dogs that have been bred to be non-aggressive family dogs;
Do
not leave babies or very young children alone with a dog;
Children should be taught to never hug a dog. Many dogs tolerate
such behaviour but others don’t.
