Dog Safety Visit

Today we were visited by Kim and Chris from the Christchurch City Council Dog Safety Team.  Kim and her dog Joker taught us about how to care for a dog and we learnt that "If a dog is on its own, leave it alone".  Chris and his dog Baxter taught us how to use our bags as a shield in case a dog attacks.  He also taught us how to pat a dog safely.  We have to ask the owner if we can pat the dog, approach with our hands like a rock and then pat them on the chest.  Chris said "Chest is best".  Check out the photo's below!
