With this unit students will learn how to observe and understand the “language” of dogs and respond in appropriate, safe, and empathetic ways – helping to keep both themselves and dogs happy and safe.

Most dogs give warning signs of their stress and discomfort before they resort to biting. Learning the body language signals that dogs give to indicate how they are feeling can help diffuse situations before bites.

With seven adaptable lessons that can be delivered as whole-class activities or group stations, the lessons are designed to fit easily into your classroom programme and can be adjusted to suit students’ prior knowledge and your time constraints.
