Links to Dog Safety Information
I am not an expert in canine behaviour, however I have benefited from some great advice and guidance from a number of sources and wanted to sign post to a couple here.
Dog Training Advice and Support (Facebook Group): This group has a fantastic selection of guides that are free to access to group members (click on the image to be taken the Facebook Group page); it has lots of advice on dog training and wider support. It has a good selection of information and advice related to dogs and children/babies with lots of sign-posting to further reading. This group has also published an excellent dog training book related to the guides – click on the link to find it on Amazon.
‘Stop the 77’ is a powerful video reminding us that a high proportion of dog bites happen in the home and how we have normalised some child dog interactions that are not necessarily appropriate and could be harmful.
I found this article ‘The Kids are Alright’ written by Linda Case over 10 years ago interesting and it references some further research into the topic that is helpful to explore. Please click on the link to read the full article and visit Linda’s website.
If you have any other research, articles or related information you think would be useful to include on this page please do contact me through the ‘contact me’ page on this website as I would love to hear from you.
