Thanks to BBC News Online from Jersey for the Headline
The dog population in Jersey has increased by 25 % in the last ten years. So with such a significant increase it was thought that it would be good to help children in a classroom environment understand a little about dog behaviour so both them and the dogs would be safe.
I think this is an excellent idea and one of the exercises they do is to show the children photographs of the faces of dogs at the beginning of the class showing various dog behaviours such as teeth baring, smiling ( yes dogs can smile), resting, yawning and curiousness and ask them to say whether the dog is friendly or not.
At the end of the lesson , they are shown the photographs again and there is a noticeable improvement of their recognition of warning signs and understanding dog behaviour.Such a good approach .
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
