Year 6 Dogs Trust Workshop

This afternoon, Year 6 were visited by Maria from the Dogs Trust who came in to speak to the children about safe dog ownership and how to handle dogs in public. We discovered now we can stay safe with strange dogs and that if a dog jumps up we should stay still and be quiet, cross our arms and look up at the sky rather than at the dog. 

We discussed all the different reasons why dogs go to bed apart from feeling tired. When they take themselves to bed, we should leave them alone as they might need some alone time.

It was useful to learn how dogs may react when they are scared or worried. They can't speak so it's important to look out for the signs.
