Dr. Ian Dunbar, a well known vet, behavioural and trainer has formed a six-storey method is commonly used to classify dog bites. Levels and a brief description of them are as follows:
Level 1 – this is harassment but no contact with the skin. This is what we often think like a snap.This comes from dogs that have a strong bite - inhibiting it is a warning that something has caused stress dog and his behaviour be managed to avoid exposure to additional stress.
Level 2 - tooth contact there, but the skin is perforated.It's another example of a bite by a dog with high bite - inhibition .c ' is the kind of bite that lets you know that a dog is serious. Anything that causes stress must be removed before your pet takes a level.
Level 3 – the skin was pierced with jumps from one to four a bite.Bites are not deeper than the length of the teeth of the dog.
Level 4 - there are one to four perforations and black deep ecchymoses.Les holes are deeper than the length of the canine tooth. In this type of bite dog bites and lexical or gashes in both senses of the perforation (he bites and shakes his head).
Level 5 – it is an attack with several bites and deep hole.
Level 6 - victim dies or flesh is eaten by the dog.
The majority of the dogs which are inflicting bites from level 6 undergoes euthanasia.Dogs a great threat to human security and should be imputed unless reasonable circumstances apply (for example the dog had been subjected to torture or there protect his family from attack) .Risque falling to levels 3 and 4 have intense change behaviour and significant in their environment changes and management to eliminate a level 1 or 2 risques.Pendant should successful behavior modification to a behavior consultant.
Biting potential exists in all dogs .Lorsqu ' they bite, it is often due to the owner because of being attentive and the inability to detect signals of stress.Tuteur pet dog also did not shorten the list of stressors or controlled environment to protect your animal.Euthanasier a dog not always the most effective for solving the problem of chien.Il bites means must be sympathy for the victims (human and animal), awareness and understanding of human and animal behavior and an open mind to find and evaluate alternatives.
