Many families cannot afford the luxury of providing quality park time with their dogs separate from the time they can spend with their children. If you choose to bring your child to the dog park, it is very important for your child’s safety that you supervise your child closely. The safest place for your child while in the dog park is standing by your side or holding your hand. If you choose to let your child play within the dog area, please read the following guidelines: Kid Safety Procedures • Never run with the dogs. • Always ask the owner before petting a dog you don’t know. • Stay close to parents while in the park.
IF A STRANGE DOG CHARGES AT YOU: • Hide face, fold arms, and stand still “like a tree.”
IF YOU ARE KNOCKED TO THE GROUND: • Lie down. • Tuck arms and legs into the body and lie “like a log.” • Wait until an adult arrives or the dog leaves.
