Dog etiquetteCan’t we all just get along? There are billions of people living on this great earth and hundreds of millions of dogs. Too often there are clashes resulting from poorly trained dogs, under-educated people, and dog owners who are misinformed and lazy. The key to fixing these problems is what I call ‘Dog Etiquette”. Dog etiquette involves education, training, and a proactive approach to making sure that our dogs can co-exist with the other creatures on this planet. Remember not everyone likes dogs or understands dog behavior. There is such a thing as dog culture. Just because you are a member of this dog culture doesn't mean that everyone else is. You as the dog owner need to learn how to navigate yourself and your dog in a world that is not always dog friendly. Proper dog etiquette will drastically reduce dog bites, will turn our dogs into better citizens, will result in less runaway dogs, less stray animals, and better relationships between our dogs and our children and all of those ‘non dog-lovers’ in the world. So pay attention and read up. Chances are that you are currently in violation of some dog etiquette rules that would make you, your dog, and those around you much happier if you were to just change certain aspects of your behavior. Good luck and good training. - Dog bite prevention
