A charity is to hold classes on “dog mood management”, after it emerged 209 people in Essex were hospitalised with bites last year.
The free workshop, hosted by Wood Green, will also address body language, flashpoints for aggression and dog bite prevention.
A charity spokeswoman said: “Although dog safety is a very serious issue, with some crucial take home messages, we try to teach dog behaviour in a fun, interactive and hands-on way to help improve our bonds with pets.”
The figures for serious dog bite injuries were provided by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
The event will be held at North Weald Village Hall on October 25 at 10.30am.
