Training to Avoid Dog Attacks

Dog attacks are in the news again. Watching the news yesterday, it came to mind that we all should be responsible citizens and aim for the best for our dogs . The American Kennel Club (AKC) have an excellent scheme called the AKCs Canine Good Citizen programme, quoting from their site: “Good Citizen programme Started in 1989, CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. The Canine Good Citizen Program lays the foundation for other AKC activities such as obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events. As you work with your dog to teach the CGC skills, you’ll discover the many benefits and joys of training your dog”

I think that everyone who cares for their dog and their family should investigate this programme, the British Kennel Club also have a similar scheme. Dogs need obedience training and there are organizations that offers solid and practical advice for you. If all dog owners were more responsible there should be fewer cases of these horrific attacks in the news.
