Re: dog-bite/trained dog bite

You need to make sure you are able to control your dog so that it only attacks on your command or in a situation where it is obvious that you or someone in your proximity is in danger. If the dog attacks someone who is merely in its vicinity but not threatening, you could be held liable, since you are aware of the dog's propensities.
