A WIGTON-based dog training company is offering deals on its services - to help cut down on the number of dog attacks in the county.

'No Label' dog training says it is trying to do its part in protecting people and dogs by training them.

The company noted that there has been a rise in attacks on children by dogs in recent months and have asked dog owners if there has been any incidents in their own home.

The company said: "Accidents of course, can happen but the harsh truth is that most of the attacks (and other attacks we don't hear about) could have been prevented with better management and more education.

"It's so important that children respect their dogs, know the boundaries with strange dogs and are aware of the dangers and risks that come with owning/being around these animals."
