Dog Bite Prevention

Back to all
  • Educators

This one-hour program for youth aged 7 and up teaches essential skills for safe dog interactions and bite prevention. Participants will learn how to recognize key signs of canine body language, understand common reasons for bites and practice respectful approaches to dogs. These skills will help build confidence and foster positive relationships.

The goals of this program are to:

  • Gain a better understanding of commonly misunderstood animal behaviours and challenge misconceptions that lead to injuries or fatalities.
  • Mitigate unnecessary risks to both animal companions and the community through greater education and awareness of animal welfare.
  • Empower youth and children to become more compassionate companions and better advocates for the animals in their homes and communities.

This presentation can accommodate up to 30 people and content difficulty is tailored to the age group you identify during registration.
