Junior School – Inquiry Learning
Last term as part of Inquiry Learning on communication, the Junior School listened to the dog control officer learning rules to keep safe with dogs. They were able to interact with the control officer’s dog called Lucy after they had learnt how to stroke a dog.
 
 
10 Rules to Keeping Safe with Dogs
  1. NEVER go up to a dog you do not know. If the owner is there, ask permission to pat the dog.
  2. DO NOT stare at a dog. It may see this as a threat.
  3. DO NOT tease dogs. It may make them angry.
  4. DO NOT go near a dog when it is eating. It may think you’re trying to take its food away.
  5. When going onto a strange property DO NOT go in if the dog is growling or barking. Dogs naturally want to protect their property.
  6. When stroking a dog, rub its chest and DO NOT place your hand on the back of its neck, because the dog may see this as a threat.
  7. Mother dogs with puppies are very protective, so DO NOT touch the puppies unless the owner is there.
  8. DO NOT disturb a sleeping dog by touching it. Wake it up from a distance by making a noise.
  9. If a strange dog approaches you, ACT LIKE A TREE – stand still. If a strange dog approaches you and you are lying down, or the dog knocks you down, ACT LIKE A TURTLE – lie still. The dog will not see you as a threat, and it should go away after it smells you.
  10. If you have any problems tell your teacher or parent to report the problem to the Council’s animal control officers.
