Learning about dogs

Students in Kindergarten through to Year 2 at Woy Woy South Public School attended the Responsible Pet Ownership Program to learn about keeping safe around dogs.

"We learnt how to identify if a dog is happy, frightened or angry and the rules to safely approach a dog and give it a pat," said principal Mr Matt Barr.

"Always remember the four safety rules: stop three steps away; ask the owner if you can pat their dog; hold your hand out to let the dog smell your hand; and pat the dog's back.

"Everyone loved having Amanda and her beautiful dog Nova visit our school," Mr Barr said.
