Kids and dogs can experience a wonderful relationship together – when dogs are properly trained, socialized and adults use common sense and put safety first.

The Children’s Dog Bite Prevention Charitable Fund and their sponsors welcome you to their web site where you’ll find an order form to order a copy of ‘Bow Wow “Ow!”, Learning To Be Safe with Dogs’ video or download our free, fun coloring pages that portray teaching points to help children learn to be safe with dogs.

The ‘Bow Wow “Ow!”’ video and Fun Pages Booklet help teach children how to act responsibly and safely when interacting with dogs. This 8-minute, animated / live action video provides basic information on dog communication. The video addresses more than 12 common situations where children could have a negative experience with dogs and then illustrates the proper behavior children should possess while in each situation. These teaching points, along with common sense and adult supervision, will go a long way in preventing dog bite-related injuries.   The Fun Pages help to reinforce the teaching points.

We do not guarantee that this video will prevent children from being bitten or attacked by their dog or other dogs. Dogs are animals and animal behavior is unpredictable.
Children should be supervised at all times, around dogs, even the family pet. Children should be taught not to approach strange dogs.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING...

• We have used your video program for several years now in our stand-alone Safety Around Animals presentations and in the Pet Safety portion of our weeklong Anti-Violence Program in area schools. This video is hands-down the best resource of its kind for the 3^rd-5^th grade children we present to most often. Thank you for making it available, and keep up the excellent work!

• Hello! I just had to write and tell you how great your BOW WOW “OW” video is. I am starting a humane education program here and will be showing this video and following your lesson plan. Besides working here at Pets In Need I also run my own non-profit called Animal Balance. We go to the Galapagos Islands and sterilize the cats and dogs, teach humane education and dog training. I will be taking your great video this December to the Galapagos and will show it in the local schools. Thank you for producing such a great quality video.

   Hi again! I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the Bow Wow Ow video was a great hit on the Galapagos. We used it combined with the fun pages at all the local schools on Isabela Island. The kids really enjoyed the classes and would go home and tell their parents what they had learned. Often they would tell us in class that their parents hit their dog with the fly swatter, so they corrected their parents! We are thrilled at their response. So I just wanted to let you know that your materials were a hit on the islands and we plan to use them again in May when we repeat the project on the next island.
