Dog Education Events
Schools
Officers will come to school with their special guest Scruffy - a small Schnauzer cross who helps children learn things like:
- how to stay safe around dogs,
- how to approach a dog and,
- what to do if they are confronted by an aggressive dog.
The talk is fun, interactive and educational.
Businesses
We offer a short presentation aimed at courier drivers, community carers and anyone else who is frequently visiting properties where there could be dogs. The presentation focusses on what to do before and during a visit, and how to deal with an aggressive dog.
We can come to your business any time, the presentation takes about 10 minutes with time for questions so it's perfect for a lunchtime or smoko break.
Get in touch with the Animal Services team to book a session for your school or business by calling 06 370 6300 or emailing animalservices@mstn.govt.nz.
