“I Speak Doggie”
A dog safety presentation for pre-schoolers
While most bite prevention programs focus on what to do when a stray or aggressive dog approaches a child, “I Speak Doggie” represents a whole new take on dog safety. With children under the age of 5 most at risk of dog bites, and 82% of all bites coming from the family or a friend’s dog, the importance of teaching kids how to behave safely around the dogs they spend time with cannot be understated. Developed by thefamilydog.com, “I Speak Doggie” is a simple, fun and interactive presentation that focuses on teaching kids how to stay safe around the dogs they know and love. The presentation is only 30 minutes long and uses a music video to get this important message across with lyrics that are so catchy kids (and educators!) keep singing about dog safety long after the presentation is over!
Who is it for?
The “I Speak Doggie” program is designed especially for preschool-aged kids. The message is simple, fun and based on a music video that will have the kids singing about dog safety long after we leave. It’s a message that really sticks and we’re thrilled to be able to offer it.
How does it work?
The program is flexible — We can visit a single class or present to groups of up to 30 children at a time. If you’d like to book a session for your preschool, please get in touch to find out more and schedule a suitable time.
