Not sure if you're being serious but if so, that's really bad advice. Rabies is a disease that is incurable once it takes hold and you're showing symptoms.

And while symptoms typically appear within 3 to 12 weeks, the incubation period can range from one week to over a year.

Waiting 10 days for a disease that will definitely kill you once you start to show symptoms and for which there have been cases where symptoms appeared after just a week, does not strike me as a wise course of action.

it definitely is not.

Never 1 week. Anyway, I'm talking about signs and symptoms in the dog. The American guidelines are 10 days quarantine. If your own dog bites or scratches, and it's vaccinated, then just keep your eye on him.
