Delta Dog Safe™ teaches positive, proactive ways to reduce the incidence of dog bites in children. The program is conducted statewide in South Australia and Tasmania and funded by the state governments in those states.
Coordinators in the program recruit volunteers who are trained to present ‘dog friendly’ school and parent education programs The program teaches pre-school and junior primary school children (and their parents) about safe and sensible behaviour around dogs, including how to read dogs’ body language.
