🐶Promoting Responsible Pet Ownership Education Program 🐶
The NSW government runs this educational program to preschools targeting 4-5year old children.
The program aims to educate children how to interact safetly with dogs.
Our pet presenter Mikayla brought in her Portuguese water dog Finick and while the children were given the opportunity to interact and engage safetly with Finick at the end of the session they did also learn some very important messages through stories and song.
🐶when dogs should be left alone
🐶things we should not do to dogs
🐶how to tell if a dog is happy, scared or angry
🐶a safe way to approach and greet a dog
🐶what to do if approached by an unknown aggressive dog
You can also log in to;
www.pettown.nsw.gov.au
where your children can play a game that will emphasise all these important safety messages.
