With summer approaching quickly we thought we would remind you of some great safety tips with dogs. Have a wonderful and safe Spring!
- Always ask permission to pet a dog that is not your own
- If you have permission, walk slowly and let the dog sniff the back of your hand before you try to pet it.
- Do not stare into the eyes of a dog. They think you might hurt them when you do this
- Pet dogs under the chin or the side of the face until they are comfortable with the attention
- Never tease a dog when playing with them
- Never try to play with a dog if they are sleeping, eating, or caring for their young
- Never approach or tease a dog that is tied outside or in a fenced area
- Never approach a stray dog
- Tell and adult if you see a stray dog wandering around
- Do not pot and assistance dog (assistance dogs sometimes wear special vest) Assistance dogs work hard to keep their owner safe and should not be distracted
