How to Keep Safe Around Dogs

Kennel Club - Safe and Sound Around Dogs
Go to Sashi the Safe and Sound Hound's website

Learn how to stay safe when you are around dogs.

Sashi the Safe and Sound Hound

On the Kennel Club Safe and Sound website you can read Sashi the Safe and Sound Hound’s rules for keeping safe around dogs - the 20 Paw Plan.

You can learn how to speak dog, so you will understand how dogs behave.

Then you will know what to do when around dogs so you do not get bitten. Learn what to do if a dog jumps up and frightens you, or if a dog knocks you over.

And remember to be safe when saying hello to dogs - always ask a dog’s owner permission before petting their dog.

Play the Online Safety Game

You can also play an online safety game on the Kennel Club Safe and Sound website - the S.A.S. Safety Factor Challenge. If you gain the maximum amount of safety stars and avoid bite marks along the way you will be awarded the Safety Factor Challenge Certificate.
