23 Key Take-Aways (continued) Most bites are preventable Many potential bite circumstances can be avoided Education about living safely with dogs is needed to reduce the number of bites For example: Select the appropriate dog for your lifestyle and environment Socialize your dog with people and other dogs, and provide obedience training Supervise your children around dogs Obey leash laws

24 Next Steps in Your Community Encourage ACOs and veterinarians to educate dog owners and members of public Encourage reporting of bites so that behavior of individual dogs/owners can be addressed Maintain robust animal care and control programs, which are critical in preventing and tracking dog bites Enact ordinances that effectively address bite circumstances and individual dog/owner behavior
