Gainesville, Georgia- In support of National Dog Bite Prevention Week (May 20-26), Bruce and Robin Edwards, Master Dog Trainers and owners of Home Dog Training are offering free dog safety seminars for community-based organizations.

“Part of our mission at Home Dog Training is to help keep people and their dogs well and safe,” said Robin Edwards, dog behavioral therapist. “We understand that dog bites are a serious matter, and we are positive that more public education, such as the free community seminars we offer, can help prevent situations that can lead to dog bites.”

Free Dog Safety Seminars
Every year almost five million Americans are bitten by dogs.  Half of those dog bites come from the family dog biting a child family member. Nearly 800,000 of those bitten require medical treatment at the local Emergency Room. Records show that dog-related injuries resulted in 31 deaths just last year. To do our small part in trying to reverse these statistics, Home Dog Training is providing free dog safety seminars for community-based organizations. Hosted by Bruce and Robin Edwards, these free seminars provide participants with dog safety and bite prevention tips while helping them understand how to more effectively communicate with their dogs. Community-based organizations interested in learning more about dog safety-including the canine psyche and instinctual social structure-are urged to call Bruce and Robin Edwards to schedule a free seminar any time throughout the year.

These free community resources provide tips for preventing dog bites and dog-related injuries, such as the following:

How to Stay Safe When a Dog Approaches

  • Don’t turn and run.  That will make the dog chase you and become adrenalized.
  • Stand still, with your hands clasped together in front of you. This will make you less interesting.
  • Do not extend your hand. Let the dog come to you and sniff.
  • Whatever you do, do not scream. If you talk, speak quietly and calmly.
  • Alway face the dog and avoid direct, continual eye contact.
  • If you can, back away from the dog slowly.  Always face him.

Safety Tips for Parents

  • Do not leave small children alone with a dog, even if he is the loving family pet.
  • Do not allow small children to actively correct the dog.
  • A small child should never feed or walk the dog unless actively accompanied by an adult.
  • No pulling on the dog’s ears, tail, or collar.
  • No aggressive play such as wrestling.
  • Do not allow your child to approach a dog in someone else’s car.

We are passionate about keeping your family, including your dog, safe and secure.  For more information about our seminar or dog training, please contact Bruce and Robin.
