4 Step SAFE program teaches kids to be safe around dogs

SAFE Dog Bite Prevention Game for Kids

Help your child stay SAFE around dogs by learning the SAFE game. The SAFE game teaches four simple body language cues that keep children quiet and calm during an interaction with a dog they don’t know. These cues are also signals to the dog that the child is not a threat. The goal of the SAFE game is calmly diffusing situations between dogs and children before they escalate to a bite.

The four cues are

  • Stay still and chill

    don’t move and be quiet

  • Arms crossed like a boss

    keep your arms still and close to your body

  • Face away like you don’t want to play

    turn your head to the side, away from the dog

  • Eyes down on the ground

    don’t stare at the dog
