Tips
for Keeping Kids Safe
Children
are the most frequent victims or dog bites, but there are a number
of precautions parents can take to keep their kids safe. Most
importantly, start teaching young children, including toddlers,
to be careful around pets. They
should know to not hug or approach a dog from behind, touch his
food bowl, pull parts of his body, stare directly into his eyes
or try to kiss him on the face. Children
should always ask permission from a dogs owner before touching
or petting a dog.

Another important tip
is to educate kids on what to do if they are threatened by a dog. Tell
them to remain calm and do not scream. Speak
calmly and firmly and avoid making eye contact with the dog. Try
to stay still until the dog leaves or back away slowly until the
dog is out of sight. Do
not turn and run away. If
the child falls or is knocked to the ground, tell them to curl into
a ball with their hands over their head and neck, protecting their
face.
