This program doesn’t just show you how to deal with a dog once it’s attacking – instead it teaches how to predict, prepare and protect yourself from a potential dog bite or attack. This means I feel much more confident about entering properties and knowing how to deal with any dogs there might be there. I know I will use the information I got from the course all the time.
Course Details
This high energy, interactive workshop is designed to help participants share their experiences and use real-life scenarios to address dog safety in the workplace.
At the end of the training you will be able to:
- Understand how a dog interprets your body language and the messages you could be conveying
- Interpret and react appropriately to early warning signs that a dog is stressed or fearful though their body language and other behaviours
- Check dogs and their environment for safety risks
- Negotiate a safe entrance into properties where a dog is present
- Ensure safe delivery of goods and/or services to a private or commercial property where dogs may be present
- Behave in ways that are likely to encourage positive dog behaviour during future visits
- Talk supportively to dog owners who may need help in controlling their dogs
- Avoid personal injury
