Dog attacks on increase, says PDSA

Bad food/breeding/owners perhaps? And in that order

Research for an animal charity has found that 30% of dog owners claim they have been bitten or attacked by someone else's dog.

The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals has said the apparent rise in aggression is due to a lack of training and exercise.

And early socialising. Breeding does come in to it but I still think early socialising and training is a must. Not many pups are born aggressive.

I heard this subject being discussed on the radio yesterday.It is the old story of people getting a dog without realising they have specific needs which must be met if they are to be fit and happy.
