In this episode we are joined by our special guest, Daniel Stewart - a popular animal behaviourist, to delve into the critical topic of bite prevention and living safely with our furry friends. We’ll explore why dogs bite, addressing common triggers like fear, pain, or reactionary responses, and discuss the physical signs that can help us understand a dog's emotional state.
We'll debunk myths about breed-specific aggression and emphasize the importance of recognising stress in all dogs, regardless of their size. Daniel and I will also share personal experiences, highlight the significance of mental and physical stimulation, and discuss the crucial role children's behaviour and body language play in how dogs react.
We'll break down strategies for preventing and managing dog fights, including the importance of veterinary examinations and the legal responsibilities of dog owners. With insights into training, pairing the right dog with the appropriate home, and the necessity of vaccinations, this episode is packed with essential information for pet owners and enthusiasts.
