Is it okay if your own dog bites you?

Whether it is okay if you are bitten by your own dog depends on the circumstances. If the skin and mucous membranes are not broken by the bite, there is no need to vaccinate, because the rabies virus is generally transmitted through the skin and mucous membranes. If the skin and mucous membranes are bitten, regardless of whether the dog has been vaccinated, it needs to go to the nearest epidemic prevention station or hospital to get a rabies vaccine. Even vaccinated dogs may be at risk of carrying the potential rabies virus.

Methods for dealing with dog bites

1. Stay steady and don’t panic

Some dog owners are very emotional and will not panic after being bitten. After that, first, anger arose in my heart, and my mind wandered to the dog meat hotpot at night; then, because I couldn't bear to accept that the dog would actually bite me, my sadness flowed back into the river, and I aged ten years; what's more, after researching the consequences of rabies Later, he was so frightened and angry that he fought with the dog...
As the saying goes, if you worry, your head will turn gray. If you become upset because of trivial matters, it will not only be detrimental to the treatment of wounds, but also It’s also easy for your mood swings to turn your egg-smooth skin into eggshells overnight, so the top priority is to calm down and understand the current situation clearly.

2. Treat wounds

The first step for all wounds is trauma. If there is trauma, there is a possibility of infection, so first observe the wound condition. If the wound is not deep and the amount of bleeding is not large, then First squeeze the wound from the proximal end to squeeze out the remaining impurities and saliva, then apply soap and rinse with water to clean the surrounding area of ​​the wound, and then disinfect it to avoid further deterioration of the wound.

However, it should be noted that even if your dog is vaccinated regularly, if it is bitten, There is still a risk of contracting rabies. If rabies does not occur, there will be no cure. Faced with such serious consequences, it is still recommended to go to the nearest hospital to receive a shot of rabies vaccine after being bitten. Generally speaking, The rabies vaccine will remain effective for three months to one year after being injected. Therefore, it is better for people who often come into contact with dogs to get vaccinated regularly.

Training Dogs

Humans cannot read a dog’s mind, but dogs, as the most intelligent person in the animal world, can understand people’s thoughts to a certain extent. Therefore, no matter what the reason is for the dog—— If the dog has a bad temper, is too excited, or bites someone while playing, the owner needs to give certain warnings and training to let the dog understand that biting is wrong. In the long run, the dog will also pay special attention to its behavior and bite people. The situation is very difficult to happen. The training method is as follows:

1. Establish your prestige

Dogs were domesticated from wolves, and the concept of hierarchy is deeply imprinted in their souls. Therefore, you must learn to establish yourself You need to maintain your prestige and maintain the dignity of your "alpha wolf", so as to ensure that the dog will listen to you faithfully. There are many ways to establish prestige. The first thing is that you need to control absolute resources, have clear rewards and punishments, do not pamper the dog, and do not let it go. The dog can run wild as he pleases, and over time, you will become more serious and dignified when the dog is serious.

2. Strictly reprimand baring teeth

Dogs also have tempers, and the way they express their dissatisfaction is by baring their teeth. This is a dangerous signal, indicating that the dog will attack. If this is not restrained, the dog will default to attacking as the main way to get angry, and over time, biting may occur. Therefore, you must scold the dog when it shows its teeth and prohibit this behavior. This will make the dog realize that this is wrong, greatly reduce its aggression, and make it calm and stable like an old dog. It can be said that Kill multiple birds with one stone.

3. Punish the dog after biting something

Dogs are accustomed to using their mouths as a grabbing tool, so it is inevitable that many things in daily life will have their teeth marks on them. If they form a habit , the dog naturally does not take this seriously, so whether it is intentional or unintentional, as long as the dog bites something or someone it should not bite, it must be punished. You can ignore it, or you can reduce its food as a warning after it bites. This is to tell it that biting is a very serious matter. In this way, the dog can gradually develop a habit. If you focus on biting and gnawing, you will pay more attention to it in your daily life, which will naturally reduce the chance of your dog accidentally biting someone.
