TELL
YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT DOG CARE!
Dogs are
not little people in fur coats. They don't think as we do. Our actions
may not appear as we intend them to be. Not all dogs are friendly to
children. Some of them may not be feeling well or simply do not want
to be bothered.
Here is
a list of behaviors every child needs to know…
- DO NOT
bark at a dog or put your face near his face.
- He
may take this as a challenge, and react by fighting/biting.
- DO NOT
hold your hands high.
- A
dog may think you have a wonderful treat for him and jump for
it with his mouth open.
- DO NOT
crawl toward a dog or back him into a corner.
- He
may feel he has to defend himself, and he may be afraid.
- NEVER
sit on a dog's back.
- This
puts the dog in a position of having to defend himself.
- No
matter how big the dog is, his back is not strong enough to support
even a very small child.
- DO NOT
run up to a strange dog and try to pet it, even if it is on a lead.
- ALWAYS
ask the owner's permission first.
- DO NOT
scream and try to run away from a dog you do not know.
- Running
makes a dog think you want to play.
- DO
pretend you are a rock … close your eyes and be very, very
still.
- Move
slowly and quietly to a safe place.
