From Street to Home - The Bite Risk No One Is Tracking
-
Narrated by:

By:
For National Dog Bite Prevention Week, our director Michelle Robertson, who studies street-born dog behaviour on the streets and within shelter environments speaks about bite risk.
In this episode, she addresses what happens to dogs after relocation into homes.
Some street-born dogs, newly arrived from overseas, have gone on to bite, in some cases leading to euthanasia. These incidents are not freely discussed & examined in a structured way.
Michelle explores why these bites may occur, what we currently understand, and what remains unknown.
She also introduces a fact-finding initiative designed to collect structured, anonymous input from adopters. The aim is to build a clearer picture of how dogs adjust within home environments after relocation.
This is not about judgement or individual cases. It is about understanding patterns and closing a critical gap in knowledge.
