Educating yourself and others about dog behavior and body language can help prevent potential bites.

Always supervise interactions between dogs and children, and teach kids how to properly approach and behave around dogs.
Consistent training using positive reinforcement techniques can help address behavioral issues and prevent aggressive tendencies in dogs.
Respect a dog's space and signals; avoid approaching unfamiliar dogs without permission from their owner.
Be able to recognize signs of stress or fear in dogs, such as growling, barking, or body stiffness, and respond accordingly.
Take prompt action if you encounter an aggressive dog, such as calmly and slowly backing away without making direct eye contact.
