Teach children to be kind and cautious around dogs 🐶

Remember: It's not the dog's fault if they get rabies, so we shouldn't punish them. We should take good care of them and teach children to do the same.

  • The best way to teach is by example. Treat your dogs with care, attention, and love, and teach children to do the same.
  • While dogs can be great company and friends to your children, we know dogs may react aggressively if they are not treated with some caution.
  • Teach your children to:
    • Don't touch a sleeping dog.
    • Don't go near a dog that is eating.
    • Don't try to take food from a dog.
    • Don't throw things at dogs.
    • Don't go near a dog guarding a house or animals.
    • Don't go near a dog with puppies.
    • Don't run past dogs. They might think you're playing and chase you.
