Be safe around dogs you know
-
Dogs don't like hugs and kisses- scratch the side of his neck instead.
-
Play safe games- fetch, teach tricks, hide and seek- no tug or chasing games.
-
Ask an adult to play too!
-
Respect the dog's resting place, toys, food and chews.
LOOK AND THINK
A safe dog is....
-
On a leash with a person you know.
-
Sitting calmly.
-
Wagging, panting and looking happy to see you.
A dangerous dog is...
- Running lose.
- Growling, showing his teeth or raising the fur on his back.
- Looking worried with his mouth closed and a half moon or white showing in his eye.
- Warning you to stay away by raising his tail high over his back.
- Holding his tail between his legs, wagging his tail between his legs or wagging his tail slowly and way up in the air.
