Staying Safe Around Dogs



IMG-20140616-00297

Here at Creature Comforts we know how  important it is to teach your children how to stay safe around dogs.

Dogs Trust have come a with an easy to remember slogan that we would like to share with you:

Be Dog Smart!

Beware of disturbing dogs that are eating or sleeping.

Even if for fun, don’t ever tease a dog please.

Don’t approach a dog with no owner around.

Only stroke a dog when the owner says ‘Yes, you can.’

Get the dog to sniff your hand first, then stroke gently.

Strange dog approaching? Stand still, look away, cross your arms.

Move calmly and quietly around any dog.

All that hugging and kissing – you might like it, dogs don’t!

Remember all dogs have teeth.

Treat dogs with respect and they will respect you!
