Presented by Jane Greco Deming; Animal Rescue Rhode Island Humane Education Consultant and Program ManagerFor children ages 4–8; children must be accompanied by an adult.This interactive 90-minute program is designed especially for young children—and often helps adults gain a better understanding of the situations that can lead to dog-related injuries. Rather than focusing on fear or blame, the program encourages empathy by helping children think about how dogs may feel in everyday situations, such as when a toy or treat is taken from them or when they are awakened while sleeping.Through age-appropriate discussion and activities, children learn how to safely interact with dogs they know as well as dogs they don’t know. The program includes a 12-minute DVD featuring kids talking to kids about pet safety, making the lessons engaging and relatable.
