While most incidents don’t end as severely as death, there is a problem with suddenly being pursued, snapped at and bitten by a loose aggressive animal like a dog. Many times, the reason for these attacks is because the owner hasn’t properly trained their dog avoid attacking or has failed to make sure the dog is secure in their yard, house or on a leash.

Because of an owner’s negligence, dog attacks are likely to happen. It is important to understand the reason they happen, and to call the San Antonio Dog Attack/Animal Bite Lawyers at Carabin Shaw Law Firm if such an attack/bite happens to you or someone you know.

A majority of the time, the motion of passersby is what triggers a dog’s prey drive because of human error in training. That is what it has learned over a period of time. It usually begins with barking and the dog learns that barking continuously drives each new person away creating a “vicious cycle.”

This “cycle” continues until the excitement of the dog leads to boldness and more aggressive behavior. As this grows, with enough excitement and unbalanced energy, and may lead to a bite or attack without the dog being consciously doing it. So as you can see an attack/bite is largely because of human error in training and securing.
