Learn a dog's body language and important signs of canine behaviour

Due to popular demand HOW TO KEEP KIDS SAFE WITH DOGS is now in it’s third edition. The new book includes additional safety messages and a more detailed section for older children and adults. 

In 2015 there were over 12,000 reported dog bites (source A.C.C). Many of these distressing episodes could have been avoided if children (and adults) were more aware of canine behaviour and understood how to conduct themselves better around dogs.

Dog bites on children are a preventable tragedy. HOW TO KEEP KIDS SAFE WITH DOGS is endorsed by Zac Moaveni, a top plastic surgeon from Starship Hospital. Dr. Moaveni says that dog bites involving young children are amongst the most heartbreaking injuries surgeons have to deal with. He firmly believes that education can make a difference. 

HOW TO KEEP KIDS SAFE WITH DOGS is a fun story about Sam and Susan getting a dog and learning how to keep safe. It can be shared as a read aloud picture book with young children or enjoyed and read alone by older children.

With full-page illustrations the story is colourful and interactive as it teaches nine important lessons to help keep children safe around dogs.
