Education on dogs and the leash in Canada
The piece contrasts Ontario and Calgary dog policies. Ontario enacts breed based bans in 2005 and destroys dogs based on appearance, while Calgary funds an education program teaching children about dog behavior and safe interaction, reducing bites by 70 percent by 2013. Calgary funds via licensing and fines, promoting owner responsibility.
