About this Webinar Join Helen Howell and Daniel Shaw for this essential webinar exploring the complexities of dog bites. This session is designed for dog trainers, behaviourists, veterinarians, shelter professionals, law enforcement, and anyone working with dogs that have bitten or are at risk of biting. Helen and Daniel will examine the key factors contributing to bite incidents, including genetics, developmental experiences, owner characteristics, and dog-owner interactions.
