Dog attacks up in Pennsylvania
County Courier Times
May 25, 2012 
LEVITTOWN - The screen door flew open but the Great Dane just stood there.
Twenty-six years of experience told postal worker Victor Torres to remain still, brace for impact, and position his blue mailbag as a makeshift shield.
Torres said he followed the training, and the Great Dane backed down. Unfortunately, there was a second dog - one that Torres never saw coming.
I was waiting on the big guy to charge at me, and I didn't even see the second, smaller dog," said Torres, recounting one of five dog attacks he experienced as a letter carrier in Bristol Township. Dog attacks are on the rise in Pennsylvania, with 197 insurance claims in 2011 - an increase of 34 percent over the previous year, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Nationwide, dog attack insurance claims are up 12 percent from 26,166 claims in 2010 to 29,396 in 2011, according to the institute.

Have you ever noticed that when you enter a dog's territory, his eyes are on you? Or when you give a dog a command, he seems to have the eye contact as if to acknowledge that he understands? Eye contact is a powerful tool used by trainers and pet owners to gain control over the animal, and to communicate commands.
Many people are surprised to learn that the way a human processes eye contact, and the way a canine process eye contact are very alike -it's a powerful type of non-verbal communication.
Eye Contact with Aggressive Canines
This can be a little tricky for people who work in positions that require them to come in close contact with unfamiliar dogs. If a dog is showing aggression, it is important to make eye contact, stand tall, and use command language. Tell them to "SIT" or "STOP" in a strong tone.
Keeping eye contact is also important to read the dog's next move; you will see signs of an impending attack before he has a chance to strike. At that point, it is important to put an object in between you and the dog, and never turn your back on the canine.
