Today we were lucky enough to receive a very special visit from a very special dog named Ted and his owner Rachel from DogsTrust. They came to us today to teach us how to treat dogs, in order to ensure that we are safe and happy when around dogs – and the dogs are happy and safe too! Rachel taught us how to approach dogs safely and what to do if a dog approaches us, before teaching us the 5 golden rules to remember whenever we are around dogs, as well as some actions to help us remember.
- If a dog is sleeping we should leave them alone
- When a dog is eating we should leave them alone
- We should always be quiet around dogs
- Dogs don’t like hugs they like gentle stokes
- If a dog takes your toy you should tell a grown up
At the end of the session, she even let us try out what we had learned with Ted – who seemed very happy!🐶
