Keeping Ourselves Safe Near Dogs

Aimed at Key Stage Two, this resource explores the behaviour of dogs and their interactions with humans. Linked to PSHE and the topic of animals, it contains several activity ideas and accompanying worksheets including: a survey, role play and stimuli for discussion and writing.

The activities look at the behaviour exhibited by people and dogs when they feel frightened and threatened and how we can tell their mood from observing this. They focus on how to get along with other people and how to keep yourself safe near dogs by observing behaviour and reacting appropriately to it.

The resource also provides teachers' notes with background knowledge and answers to the worksheets.

This resource has been produced by the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB).
