People reported more than 500 dog attacks to Brisbane City Council in the past 12 months, but experts say attacks could be reduced if dog owners did more to train and understand their pets.
Key points:
Dogs that attack or menace a person or animal can be declared a dangerous or menacing dog by local councils
Declarations can be appealed through the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal
Dog training experts say the blame rarely lies with the dog itself but the owners who need more training

For more than a decade, the Small Business Development Center at Jamestown Community College has hosted the Women in Networking (WIN) Chautauqua program on the second Thursday of every month. This program is for female business owners and women working in the business sector.
While this event usually takes place in person, during the COVID-19 pandemic, women are meeting via Zoom to exchange ideas, experiences and address challenging issues. Each person briefly shares their latest business news and then participates in a learning opportunity with a presentation on a topic of interest. The SBDC has helped to build productive business relationships that benefit women throughout the region with this program. To make a reservation or for more information on this monthly program, contact the SBDC at 338-1024 or visit www.sbdcjcc.org.
