Dog Bite Prevention Week Safety Tip: Learn the Be a Tree technique! Here is how to teach kids of all ages to Be a Tree: 1. STOP. 2. Fold your branches. (Fold your hands.) 3. Watch your roots grow. (Look at your feet.) 4. Count calmly in your head until help comes, or the dog goes away. This is the best way to get a rambunctious or highly excitable dog to leave you alone. This technique is helpful when a strange dog comes near you, if a dog is getting too frisky, bothering you, or frightening you. Trees are very boring to dogs so they usually sniff you then leave. The kids in this video know how to Be a Tree, to stay safe around dogs. The dog has learned that when the kids do the Be a Tree pose, they are no longer interested in playing, so the dog quickly gives up when the kids ignore her. Be a Tree and keep everyone happy and safe! Learn more at Doggone Safe, and please share with your family and friends!
