Ep. 19.5: Man's Best Friend - Part 2 (feat. Jim Crosby)

Tune in for the final portion of our interview with the world's foremost expert on fatal dog attacks, Jim Crosby.  In this portion, we ask more hard-hitting questions: Are certain breeds the cause of more attacks than others? Can dogs that have been bred to fight in illegal dog fighting be re-integrated back into society? How can you stop an approaching aggressive dog?

If you or someone you know has been struggling after a dog attack, check out the American Psychological Association's website for tips on helping someone who's struggling, or you can find a licensed therapist through Psychology Today.

If you have an aggressive dog, you may want to seek help from a veterinary behaviorist. There is another podcast called The Bitey End of the Dog by Michael Shikashio (CDBC) that explores the topic of dog aggression further, and Michael's website AgressiveDog.com has great professional resources related to dog aggression and behavior.

For tips on how to stop an approaching aggressive dog, you can check out the video at Patricia Mcconnell's website, or read more tips at Whole-Dog-Journal.com
