A dog charity has issued a straight forward guide to keeping dogs and people safe around each other with signs of escalating emotions and advice on how to steer clear of danger zones.
The PDSA have used the Kendal Shepherd 'ladder of aggression' to explain the sometimes subtle but tell-tale signs to look out for to understand when your dog is feeling stressed.
And it can be used by all ages and around all dogs, to help keep life calmer and safer, with adults taking responsibility for youngsters who may miss the signs, ignore them or misunderstand them.
