Dogs are predators that attack with strong sharp teeth that can deliver up to 450 pounds of pressure per square inch. A dog's needle sharp teeth and very strong jaws can create deep puncture wounds or tear the flesh away. Depending on the body part bitten, the dog bite can cause lifelong injuries that will limit the victim's mobility. A serious dog bite can even kill a person. Wounds are not the only concerns of dog bite victims because when the teeth puncture the flesh infection and disease-causing bacteria are injected on the puncture wounds as well. A potential life threatening outcome of dog bites is rabies.

It would be very hard to prevent dog bites because dogs are the most common animal companions of man. Children are the most common victims of dog bites and often times, the kid is bitten by the pet. So, how do you treat a dog bite?

Dog bite victims have to have first aid to prevent infection but it would be necessary to remove the victim away from the dog first. Dog bites can create two types of wounds - deep puncture wounds and lacerations. Because bacteria is injected when the dog sinks the teeth to the flesh, it is common for puncture wounds to get infected. Lacerations are created when dog's teeth tears away the skin.

Puncture wounds normally don't bleed profusely thus the wound has to be allowed to bleed for a few minutes to flush out the bacteria from the wound. Skin lacerations bleed profusely. To stem the heavy flow of blood, direct pressure is applied directly in the injured body part. To prevent infection, wounds resulting from dog bites must be thoroughly cleaned.

Serious skin lacerations resulting from dog bites cannot be treated at home as the wound normally needs to be sutured however, thorough cleaning of the dog bite would still be necessary so as not to give the bacteria a chance to cause infection. Washing the wound with antibacterial soap for about five minutes will lessen the risk of infection. Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with sterile gauze. As expected, a person with dog bite wounds would be in pain. The pain that is mostly caused by the swelling will be minimized with an application of ice compress on the bite wound.

Rabies is a potential health risk that will devastate dog bite victims particularly if it is impossible to verify whether the dog has had rabies vaccination. Dog bite victims of stray dogs with an unknown rabies immunization status have to undergo rabies immunization therapy .

In spite of the renowned canine intelligence, dog's understanding is not at par with what humans have. A pet that usually greets its master by jumping will be puzzled if the owner suddenly raised the voice and reprimanded the dog for jumping while she is all dressed up for a party.

So how will you discipline a dog that has the tendency to bark excessively, or one that torments other pets, or one that has a destructive chewing habit or one that has the inclination to raid trash cans? Dogs can easily read our facial expressions and understand the meaning or our body movements. A dog that had destroyed your favorite $500 bag will slink under the table when it sees the anger in your face. The repentant look of the pet is not an assurance that destruction of shoes, bags and other things will not happen again. Unless you do something to discipline the dog, the undesirable act will be repeated again. Screaming at the dog or inflicting physical punishment would never be a good idea more so if the punishment was given after the destructive deed was done. Correcting the bad habit of the dog will never be accomplished if the punishment is given after the dog has been destructive.

In a dog/human relationship, the human should always be viewed as the leader of the pack. Dogs must be trained to follow the commands of humans. Training would be an effective method of disciplining the pet. This training is best started while the dog is still young and has not yet formed destructive habits. Dogs have the tendency to obey commands given in an authoritative voice.

Diversionary techniques that will result to the dog's aversion to the destructive behavior are effective methods of disciplining the dog . Bitter apple discourages the dog from chewing things and a spray of cold water stops the dog's excessive barking.

It would be best to reprimand and correct the dog while the destructive act is being committed. "No, Leave it, Stop are only some of the excellent commands that will stop the dog in mid act. Disciplining the dog would not be an easy task - one that cannot be accomplished at once but a determined owner consistently training the dog and using positive reinforcement will be able to correct a destructive behavior and have a well mannered pet.
