Hvad skal man gøre, hvis din hund bider en anden hund

Reasons dogs bite
- Out of fear or feeling threatened
- Protection - Dogs are pack animals and will protect any ‘pack member’, which could mean you as well as their offspring or fellow household animals.
- Being possessive about their territory, food, toys and pack.
- Suffering from pain or illness
- Remain calm
- Get your dog under control and separate the animals. To separate the dogs, lift your dog’s hind legs off the ground and manoeuvre them away from the other dog.
- Give assistance to the owner and injured dog. If you are able to, offer to take the injured dog to a vet and pay in full or contribute to any veterinary costs.
- Exchange contact information with the other owner.
- Seek legal advice in case you are asked to pay compensation or damages.
- If, for any reason, you are unable to control your dog, you should call your local animal control organisation or police.
- Be aware that you may be fined by your local council or animal control organisation.
- Dogs that attack when unprovoked may be deemed dangerous and may be seized then euthanased.
- Steps you can take to lessen the risk of aggression
- Spayed or neutered dogs tend to exhibit less aggressive behaviour
- Exercise and play with your dog regularly to keep them active, healthy and improve their behaviour
- Ensure your dog’s vaccinations are up-to-date and that they have regular veterinary check-ups to identify any medical conditions
- Ensure your dog has had obedience training
- When in public, keep your dog leashed, and muzzled if necessary
- Keep your dog confined to your property
- Understand the frightened and aggressive body language of your dog so you can take necessary action before the situation escalates
- Ensure your puppy is socialised with other dogs and gets proper training to discourage biting at an early age
- Seek professional help from your veterinarian, a dog behaviourist or dog trainer if your dog continues to display aggression
