Follow Elle's way to say "HELLO". A method that is tried, tested and approved by countless children, adults and dogs of all types too!

Pause in place and remember to be respectful of space.

Ask permission because a meet/greet can be allowed or denied

(do not disturb canines in training or K9s in service work).

Wait and watch for behavior/body language that invites an interaction.

Safely interact - stay calm, be gentle and pay attention at all times.

Sign up your classroom for a PAWS Community demo. A perfect lesson for students about safety and the canine/human bond.
