Kids – No Dog Headlocks Please

Parents, a reminder that dogs – like all animals – learn positive or negative associations based on past experience.

To strengthen your child’s relationship with your dog and help to prevent dog bites, please teach your child that instead of giving headlocks and big bear hugs that can make dogs uncomfortable, to be a dog Super Hero, they can sit next to their dog, give him a rub on his neck and give him a treat from their open palm.

Parents, to help prevent dog bites and strengthen your child's relationship with your dog, teach no dog headlocks or bear hugs. #dogbiteprevention
