- Almost 1 in 5 people bitten by dogs require medical attention.
- Every year, more than 800,000 Americans receive medical attention for dog bites; at least half of them are children.
- Children are, by far, the most common victims of dog bites and are far more likely to be severely injured.
- Most dog bites affecting young children occur during everyday activities and while interacting with familiar dogs.

Crawling babies, Toddlers, and Dog Communication
Many dogs do beautifully during a baby's first months at home. Parents often relax at this point, but relaxing and not being vigilant isn't the best choice; this time is the beginning of a new phase. The crawling phase is often very conflicting and even stressful for family dogs. Babies move in unpredictable ways. Dogs rely on body language and consistent behavior of their people. Nothing is consistent about the first year of your baby's life, other than CHANGE! At 3 months (if not before) you will want to begin preparation for the crawling and mobility phase that is just around the corner. Don't wait until there is a problem. We are here to help you NOW! :)
