To the untrained eye, dog bites can often seem random or unprovoked and thus difficult or impossible to prevent. However, this is far from the case. By knowing the signs to look for and the correct way to approach dogs, dog bites can be easily avoided. Pet educator Peggy Rew knows this well- she literally wrote the book on it! (And there’s coloring pages, too!) Pull up a chair and join us for a discussion of dog bite prevention and canine safety.
