From Dr. Ian Dunbar, who has inspired dog trainers worldwide to makes puppy classes useful, welcoming & available to owners, breeders, researchers & veterinarians worldwide:  "Preventing dog bites is the single most important part of training a dog. Life is very different with a dog that bites, especially a dog that bites hard enough to cause serious injuries."
