Anyone who has talked to me about dogs knows that I think the most important thing about dogs is to get them training. I have very strong opinions about what are the best and worst methods, but that's a topic for other blogs.
The second most important thing, which goes hand-in-hand with training, is reading a dog's body language. I would go so far as to say this is something that should be taught in school. As a result, I'd be willing to bet that dog bites could be greatly reduced.
This week is Dog Bite Prevention Week. The first link is for printable files on bite prevention. The second link is a seminar given by Jean Donaldson, behaviorist, and author.
