Today we had some very special guests from Auckland Council come and speak to us about Dog Safety. There has been a rise in dog bites and dog attacks all over our country, some even in our community. It is important for our learners to keep safe around stray dogs and dogs that are off lead wandering around the streets.
Some of the reminders are: always ask the owner before you pet a dog, have a closed fist and allow the dog to sniff your fist, pet a dog under it’s neck or chest, don’t approach dogs when they are eating and stand like a tree and try not to run if a dog chases you. It’s important to look for signs when NOT to approach a dog.
A big shout out and thank you to Lesha, Austin, Miguel, Justine and a crowd favourite Paprika (husky dog) that came to visit us. Here are some short snippets and pics from their visit with us today. Click here if you would like to know more.
