“I Speak Doggie”
A free 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 20 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 I leave. It’s a message that really sticks and I’m thrilled to be able to offer it.
How does it work?
The program is flexible so I can come into a single class or even do the presentation for up to 25 children at a time.
If you are interested in having me visit your preschool, kindly reach out to discuss and schedule a suitable time for your session.
Please note that the program is free for preschools within 15km of Blackwood. For those located further away, a fee of $30 will apply to cover travel expenses.
