PSA to prevent dog bites - really well done..

Love it ! I could tell where it was going, it’s very well made.

Respecting dogs is one of the the first important things I taught my kids.

We always had dogs, medium/small ones, and it was very important that my kids knew how to behave around them.

Thanks, Moni--I love this too and will share it on FB.

My parents didn't monitor us much around our family dogs (golden mixes) and bless them, they put up with so much. When I had my home nursery school, I taught those kids how to read dog body language and to follow rules, such as never touch the dogs when they are eating or have a toy or are in their crate. Even very young children are capable of learning these rules and of beginning to learn to understand the dog's point of view. Of course, it is the adults' responsibility to make sure that children are supervised at all times around dogs.

That is very well done. Of course watching the first half with the childrens' narrations I could see bites coming from all of those stressed out overwhelmed dogs!

Dang. When I clicked on the link it said the server's bandwidth has been reached or something like that and I should try again later, which I will.

That’s a very beautifully made video with a very powerful message. Thanks for posting.

Yep - same here...yet you see so many pictures like that used in advertising...

Excellent video - thanks! Using all those "cute" beautifully shot photos really brings the message home.

For those of us who really read canine body language those "cute" pictures are pretty horrifying, aren't they?

That video was put out by The Family Dog. They have several videos on YouTube about dog bite prevention. Here's a nursery rhyme from them to teach age seven and under kids on dog safety.

I have steered many children (and their parents) to I speak Doggie - I must watch the updated version!
