Dog Bite Prevention Course

Module 1 – Understanding Aggression

The first module will focus on understanding canine aggression and learning to recognise it. Students will learn how to respond successfully to dog aggression.

Does our society really have a problem with canine aggression and if so, how big is the problem? If the problem is, in reality, not as frequent or severe as it is commonly believed, why is it perceived otherwise? Is the perspective different for society, owners, and dog professionals?

Module 1 takes a close look at aggression and aggressive behaviour. It covers why some dogs are more likely to aggressive and the various approaches to describing aggression. The so called dominance theory is examined, along with the origins and causes of aggression. The role that stress plays in the development of aggression is examined in depth and covers questions such as whether some breeds are more prone to aggression than others.

Module 2- Categories of Aggression

Module 2 looks at the various categories of aggression, causes and predictors. A sound knowledge and recognition of canine body language and signaling in relation to aggression is essential to prevent bites. A number of safety measures and precautions can be put into place to avoid pushing a dog over threshold, causing him to use aggression. The course takes a close look at what can push a dog to escalate to biting.
