4 Million Dog Bites In The United States Every Year
Westport, MA (ContentDesk) March 30, 2006 -- Each year in America there are approximately 4 million dog bites: 800,000 of these bites happen to children 14 years and younger. Dog training expert, Eric Letendre, of Westport, MA says that one of the main causes of aggression in dogs are the training methods used by the majority of dog trainers.
In his new book, "The Amazing Dog Training Man," Eric tells the story of how a frustrated and confused dog owner learned how to train his dog using positive methods.
