Ep261 - When dogs bite

Why do dogs bite? The truth is, it rarely happens “out of nowhere.” In this episode, Panos and Luke break down the many reasons dogs resort to biting—from fear aggression and pain to resource guarding, prey drive, rough play, and even social conflict.

Exploring real-world situations like strangers entering property, kids running around, or someone touching a dog in public.

Also talking about injured or sick dogs, how unmanaged play can lead to accidents, and why some dogs simply push boundaries.

You’ll learn the common triggers, how to recognise the warning signs, and—most importantly—what you can do to prevent a bite from happening in the first place.

Whether you’re a dog owner, trainer, or just someone who wants to stay safe around dogs, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you understand and manage dog behaviour.
