Dogs are often misunderstood by people, especially children. To a dog, biting is a natural way of communicating when they perceive that nothing else has or will work. Too often we hear that a dog has bitten a person ‘out of nowhere,’ when more often than not, we have simply failed to read the dog’s warning signs.

Designed for children, educational for adults too! Our children’s bite prevention seminars focus on fun, informative, and interactive activities to teach children how to read a dog’s body language and warning signs, as well as learn how to properly interact with familial and strange dogs.

During the presentation we discuss the Do’s and Don’ts of bite prevention, body language and communication, the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, how to interact with a known dog, how to greet a strange dog with an owner, and how to avoid a strange dog without an owner. Children get to practice their new knowledge with a fun interactive session with our trained dogs.

Sessions last 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of children.
Every child leaves with essential knowledge, take-home information, and a coloring page.
