Sprat the Chihuahua

 

Sprat the Chihuahua came to visit us with Hamilton dog control. We learnt how to meet new dogs and keep safe around them. We all sat in a circle and Sprat walked around to be patted by each of us. He was very confident and comfortable in the centre, he liked the attention.

We learnt 7 important rules to help keep us safe with dogs:    
1: If a dogs running free, stand like a tree.
2: If a dogs on its own, leave it alone.
3: Ask if it's ok before you say gidday.
4: Next to a dog's face is not the right place.
5: Pat chin or chest, that's the best.
6: If you happen to fall, role up like a ball.
7: When it's time for snack, keep well back.

Parents, these are great rules to follow at home too :)
