Episode 2 of Series 14: Dog's Days of Summer
We explore the research on bite risks, the experiences of postal workers, and the challenges faced by dog owners. We discuss the lasting impacts on families and communities, and the social narratives surrounding aggressive behaviors in dogs. We'll also hear from dog trainer Kate La Sala about hands-on training perspectives and the importance of clear communication.

Her expertise involves the prevention of dog bites at home and within work environments, approaches to understanding dog owners' attitudes and public views of dog behaviour and welfare needs, human-behaviour change approaches, survey design and research methodologies.
