Dog bites can devastate families and leave lasting physical and emotional scars, yet most incidents involve otherwise pleasant dogs owned by caring people. This comprehensive guide reveals the shocking truth about dog bite statistics, legal consequences, and the "perfect storm" of factors that lead to attacks. Learn how to recognise warning signs, understand UK dog bite law, and protect your family from becoming another statistic.

Aggression towards people is one of the most serious issues I deal with because the consequences can be devastating, not just for you, but for your dog too. Under the Dangerous Dogs Act, even seemingly minor incidents like barking or jumping up can lead to legal action, and in some cases, seizure or destruction of the dog for more serious behaviours. I help owners understand the risks, navigate the law, and develop practical, humane strategies to manage and reduce aggression safely.
