Yesterday, I had my dog in my garage. A mother and two of his daughter walked in the side walk, then I heard the screaming and when I looked, I saw my dog managed to push the garage door and left (it 's an old garage) and it was after the daughter, I didn 't exactly what happened but feels left grab my dog and put him back in. I asked if he was acceptable and said yes … he turned and said that my dog bit her daughter in the leg and asked for documents from the shots anger, gave them 45 minutes later and head to the hospital. It also gave them my name and phone number and told them to bring in the receipt and I will pay the medical bill and I sincerely apologize to the mother. It was so disturbing that I didn 't get your number and ask for direction, they haven' t called me yet so I'm assuming that everything is ok (I hope) I don 't know serious injury because I didn' t seen the girl's mother said the only bit that 's it. I still can 't believe how my dog came out of the garage, I' VE putting it there for a long time and this is the first time he went out. This is also the 2nd time he bit a kid the first time the dog bit my mom said to his kid, but my grandpa said the kid just falling off the bike that 's why I save my dog. Would anything to correct their behavior, obedience school? What should I do? ¿As you sleep? I love that dog so much, it just doesn 't like children. I don 't want to get sued all, I' m a full time college student who relies solely on financial aid for the money. As for the garage, never open again because it worked up. Thanks to individuals! The first incident wasn 't released because the medical bills paid and everything. thank you all for the advice. God bless!

Learning to retrieve the phone from a cradle can be tricky for a service dog in training. One suggestion is to obtain a quilter’s handle from a craft store and glue it to the back of the receiver. This will provide a handle for your dog to grasp when they retrieve the phone. Practice this skill with the phone on the floor first, then gradually move the phone to its usual location as your dog gets more proficient at this task. |

Treats are often used as a way to show our dog that they are loved. The wrong treats though, can be deadly. Foods such as chocolate, raisins and macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs. Be certain to place candy dishes, Easter baskets or cookie platters out of the reach of your dog. Store any leftover treats in a secured container inside of a cabinet at night. One easy rule to avoid disaster is to remember that you would not eat dog food, so don’t feed people food to your dog!

Protect your dog from injuries to the pads of the paws. Warmer temperatures are just around the corner, and it is important to remember that blacktop pavement absorbs heat, and can get a lot hotter than air temperature. One way to decide if your dog needs to wear booties is to remove your shoe and place your own foot on the pavement. If the pavement is too hot for you to walk on, it is too hot for your dog. Service dogs and other working dogs are at particular risk for burn injuries. |

Toys are meant to be a fun way for you and your dog to exercise and bond. Toys that are too small can present choking hazards and can prove lethal. One general rule of thumb is that if the toy is small enough to be dropped down the center of a roll of toilet paper, it is too small for your dog. Toys with squeakers or other small parts that can be chewed off can also be hazardous. Always supervise your dog’s play. |

Children should be taught how to behave when they encounter a service dog team in public. We suggest teaching three simple rules that are worded in a positive way:
1. Always approach a service dog team from the front.
2. Always respect the working space of a service dog team by not getting too close.
3. Always remember that a service dog is working and should not be petted unless you are given permission. |

Responsible Dog Ownership Tip #5: Grooming for your hound!
While some dogs have more demanding grooming requirements than others, the majority of dogs need some or all of the following on a semi-regular basis: bathing, brushing/combing, tooth brushing, nail clipping, ear checks and cleaning. Matted fur, overgrown nails, bad teeth, and ear infections can be exceedingly uncomfortable for dogs and are easily prevented by routine maintenance. |

Responsible Dog Ownership Tip #3: Poop bags… don’t leave home without them!
All it takes is a few “bad eggs,” a few humans not cleaning up after their dog, for communities to start considering dog bans in public walking areas. Make sure that you don’t leave your home without bags for cleaning up, “just in case!”
Once, I was caught without a bag, and not wanting to leave a mess behind, I knocked on my neighbor’s door!
“Excuse me, I hate to bother you, but do you have a spare baggie? I forgot to bring an extra, and
I’d like to make sure that I clean up after my dog.” My neighbor was more than happy to oblige, and appreciated that I took responsibility for my dogs.
Additionally, I suggest bringing along extra “poop bags,” more than you think you will need. I will pick up neighborhood “messes,”
regardless of whose dog left it there. Consider it good dog ownership karma, a random act of canine kindness! |
