The dogs trust came to speak to us today about being safe around dogs. We spoke about when it was safe to stroke a dog and the important rules.
Always ask the owner.
Allow the dog to sniff you.
Ask the owner where the dog likes to be stroked.
We also role played how to behave around a dog if we are frightened and/ or we don’t want to play with them. These positions were called X factor and hedgehog.
