THE BE A TREE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM KEEPING FUTURE GENERATIONS SAFE!

A Dog BitE PRevention Program For Kids & Families 


The Be a Tree program is a dog bite prevention seminar program for school-age children. This program focuses on fun and interactive activities to teach children how to read dog body language and how to act safely around both their own dog and strange dogs.

The Be a Tree program is supported by a teacher kit that presenters use to ensure a consistent and accurate presentation. The program and the kit have been developed and reviewed by experts and are designed for use by classroom teachers and presenters. 

Half of all kids are bitten by a dog by the time they are 12 years old.   A good percentage of these bites are from a dog the child knows.  join our growing list of Be a Tree Presenters and help educate your local community

The program is designed to be delivered either through a computer, laptop or projector or through posters and interactive activities



What Presenters Say About The "Be A Tree Program"

"Doggone Safe is an excellent dog bite prevention program because it teaches children and their parents to read dog body language. This skill is on the front line of prevention. When you can understand what the dog is saying, you can better manage the environment to prevent any unfortunate situations. Also, teaching children to respect another living being is so very important. Respect for a dog will create a safe environment. Doggone Safe, using pictures with easy to understand explanations and interactive role playing help children and parents understand how to respect and respond to a dog. Their support and partnership with other areas of dog bite safety such as Dogs and Storks, and on line seminars for adults who are in fields of work where they encounter dogs makes this a very well rounded program."Kathy Wolff Mosaic Dog TrainingBasic Manners Dog Trainer and Responsible Dog Ownership Educator, Watertown All Breed Community
