What Is Dog Safety?

Improper management of a dog can result in hurt, injury or loss to people, other animals, or property. Dog Safety is an interdisciplinary method for managing the risks associated with dogs and dog ownership. It involves the input of dog experts (groomers, breeders, veterinarians, trainers, and canine ethologists), politicians and bureaucrats, insurers, businesses, rescue volunteers and organizations, educators, and dog owners.

There is a need for focused attention on Dog Safety. We read in the news, almost every day, of a preventable dog related tragedy. For example, most dog bites; dog injuries; dog escapes; dog related lawsuits; etc. could have been prevented if thoughtful pre-planning had been implemented.

If you are interested in this topic, I would encourage you to write me, and get involved. I would like to post guest articles, set up dog safety seminars, and provide readers with resources to governmental and private sources and contractors to assist them in improving Dog Safety.

This should be a fun project, and we can save a lot of dogs along the way.
