K9 Sense

Steph and Alison came to show us how to be safe with dogs.  Always pat a dog on the side on his face, not on the top of his head.  Let him sniff your hand first.  If a dog is coming towards you, stand like a tall tree - never run away because the dog will think you are playing a game and chase you.  If you get knocked down, curl up in a ball and cover the back of your neck with your hands.  We all had to practice doing this so that we can feel safe and confident around dogs.
