[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a dog trainer, 99% of dog bites/attacks could be prevented if people knew anything about dog behavior and signals. Dogs very rarely (VERY rarely) attack with no warning. People just ignore/punish the dog's signals.

So yeah, joe blow dog owner who is going to yell at a dog for growling and alpha roll a dog for jumping is going to create a disaster of whatever breed they choose to do that to. Unfortunately, Cesar Milan and the like have speed some really dangerous ideas to the average pet owner.

And for goodness sake, teach your child to let the dog approach them, not to approach a dog. No hugging, running, squealing, etc around dogs! My 2 year old knows when he meets a new dog to sit down, put his hand out, and look the other way while the dog sniffs it. Only then does he pet the dog, and only while within his reach. If the dog moves, he cannot follow it. It's not that hard to teach.[/quote]

Why should I have to learn knowledge that's irrelevant to my life because someone ELSE chooses to own a dangerous dog?[/quote]
