Bark NZ with Room 9

On Friday 14th October BARK NZ visited Wesley Primary. 
BARK NZ is a registered charity dedicated to supporting communities by providing education to children on how to be safe around, and have positive experiences with, dogs.

They visited Room 9 with two dogs named Mo and Flicka. They shared with us some useful tips on how to be safe when around with dogs.

If a dog is on it's own, leave it alone. If a dog is with it's owner we need to follow simple steps.

We first ask  the adult that the dog is with if they are allowed to pat them, then asking the dog which is one of the important thing for us to do and the dog will give us some clear signs if they are unhappy.

We also learnt how to pat a dog in a way that's not mean or bossy.

We thank Bark NZ team for helping us learn techniques we can use to keep ourselves safe when around dogs.
